Udarakirti (उदारकीर्तिः, IAST: udārakīrtiḥ) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She of noble, abundant, and far-reaching glory”. From udāra (noble, generous, exalted, magnanimous) and kīrti (fame, glory, radiant renown), this name celebrates the Goddess whose divine fame is as boundless and generous as her grace.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Udāra carries the dual sense of generosity and nobility, derived from the root ud + ṛ (to rise upward), thus kīrti that is udāra is a fame that rises high, that is magnanimous in its reach. Kīrti itself, from the root kīrt (to celebrate, to proclaim), means the luminous renown that spreads through all worlds when the Goddess's nature is contemplated. Together the name declares that her glory is not narrow or limited but pours forth in all directions like light.

Lalitā bears this name in recognition that her renown pervades all the three worlds and is inherently generous, elevating those who invoke it. Pronounced u-daa-ra-keer-ti, it is an elegant and meaningful choice for a given name.
