Shambhumohini (शम्भुमोहिनी, IAST: Śambhumōhinī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who enraptures and enchants Lord Shiva himself”. Compounded from Śambhu (an auspicious name for Śiva) and mohinī (she who bewilders or enchants), this epithet celebrates Lalitā as the supreme power of divine love whose beauty captivates even the all-knowing Lord of yogins.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śambhu is one of Śiva's most beloved names, meaning 'the auspicious one' or 'the source of happiness.' Mohinī derives from the root muh (to be bewildered, to enchant), and in the feminine it describes the irresistible enchantress. The name Śambhumōhinī declares that Lalitā's divine beauty and grace are so transcendent that Śiva himself — the great ascetic who is unattached to the world — is held spellbound by her. This reflects the non-dual Śākta understanding that Śakti and Śiva are inseparable yet she is the dynamic, enlivening principle.
This playful yet profound epithet is beloved in devotional poetry celebrating the cosmic love of Śiva and Śakti. Pronounced shum-bhu-mo-hi-nee, it is melodious and spiritually evocative as a girl's name.

Shambhumohini appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
