Vajrini (वज्रिणी, IAST: Vajriṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who wields the thunderbolt, diamond-hard power”. From vajra (thunderbolt, diamond, indestructible) and the feminine suffix iṇī (one who bears or wields), this name declares Lalitā as the sovereign bearer of the vajra, the supreme weapon of divine force.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Vajra simultaneously means the thunderbolt weapon of Indra and the diamond — both symbols of indestructibility and penetrating power. As Vajriṇī, Lalitā wields a force that shatters ignorance and demonic obstruction while remaining herself absolutely invincible.

The vajra is also a symbol used in Śākta tantric iconography to denote the adamantine quality of the Goddess's grace, which breaks through all karmic bondage. Pronounced vuj-ri-nee.
