Satyavrata (सत्यव्रता, IAST: Satyavratā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is devoted to the vow of truth”. Formed from satya (truth) and vratā (feminine of vrata, a vow or sacred observance), this name exalts Lalitā as the one whose very being is a living, unbroken vow of absolute truth.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Satya, derived from the root as (to be), signifies that which eternally is—reality itself. Vrata denotes a sacred pledge or discipline undertaken with unwavering resolve. As Satyavratā, the Devī does not merely speak truth; she is the cosmic pledge that existence itself cannot violate, the ground upon which all dharma rests.

The name Satyavratā is also borne by several devoted figures in the Purāṇas, making it a name with rich narrative heritage alongside its metaphysical significance. It is a graceful, usable given name for a girl; pronounce it sat-ya-VRA-taa.
