Svastha (स्वस्था, IAST: Svasthā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is established in her own self; self-possessed”. From 'sva' (one's own self) and 'sthā' (established, abiding), Svasthā is the Goddess who abides perfectly in her own nature — the image of absolute self-sufficiency and inner wholeness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Sanskrit word 'svastha' is the classical term for health, literally meaning 'established in oneself.' As Svasthā, Lalitā is the one who is eternally grounded in her own being, never disturbed, never displaced — the very archetype of perfect equilibrium. The name invites devotees to seek the same inner stability through her grace.

Svasthā appears in the Lalitā Sahasranāma as an expression of the Goddess's absolute inner completeness. As a given name it carries the auspicious wish that the bearer remain always healthy and self-possessed; pronounced 'SVAS-thaa', with a clear 'sv-' consonant cluster.
