Triguna (त्रिगुणा, IAST: Triguṇā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who embodies the three cosmic qualities”. From tri (three) and guṇa (quality, strand), this name reveals Lalitā as the living totality of sattva (purity), rajas (dynamism), and tamas (inertia), the three fundamental strands of all manifest existence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sāṃkhya-Vedānta, the entire phenomenal universe is woven from three guṇas: sattva, which illumines; rajas, which activates; and tamas, which stabilizes and obscures. Lalitā as Triguṇā transcends yet encompasses all three, being their ultimate ground and controller. This name affirms her sovereignty over the very fabric of creation.
As an epithet, Triguṇā is shared across several Śākta deities but is especially celebrated for Lalitā in the Sahasranāma. Pronounced 'tri-gu-naa'; a graceful and melodic name suitable for daily use.
Scriptural source
Triguna appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
