Satyasandha (सत्यसन्धा, IAST: Satyasandhā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is bound to truth; truth-pledged”. From satya (truth, reality) and sandhā (pledge, compact, bond), this name exalts Lalithā as the one whose every promise and covenant is pure truth itself — the divine embodiment of inviolable veracity.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Satya, rooted in sat (being, existence, truth), is one of the highest ideals of Dharma, and sandhā, from the root sidh/sandh (to bind, to pledge), indicates a solemn compact or vow. Satyasandhā thus means one who is completely faithful to her word, whose nature and promises are inseparable from truth. In Lalithā, this quality points to the absolute reliability of divine grace — when the Goddess promises liberation, it is truth itself speaking.

This epithet also appears in the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma as a name of Viṣṇu, showing its pan-tradition sanctity; as a girl's name, Satyasandha carries a beautiful meaning of integrity and divine fidelity. Pronounced sat-ya-san-dha.
