Shrimahararajni (श्रीमहाराज्ञी, IAST: Śrīmahārājñī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The supremely auspicious great queen”. Formed from śrī (divine grace), mahā (great, supreme), and rājñī (queen), this name hails Lalitā as the sovereign ruler of all worlds, whose queenship transcends every earthly throne.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The root rāj means 'to shine' or 'to rule,' and rājñī is its feminine form, the queen who illuminates her realm by her very presence. The prefix mahā elevates this queenship beyond the cosmic, while śrī wraps it in the inseparable glow of auspiciousness and divine wealth. In the Śrīcakra cosmology, Lalitā presides over all planes of existence as the undisputed empress, and this name captures that sovereign reality.

Śrīmahārājñī appears as the second name in the Lalitā Sahasranāma, immediately affirming the regal sovereignty of the Goddess after her identity as Mother. As a given name it is long and ceremonial, so devotees often shorten it affectionately to Mahārājñī or Rājñī in daily use.
