Vasuprada (वसुप्रदा, IAST: Vasupradā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows wealth and all riches”. From vasu (wealth, the Vasus) and pradā (giver), this name reveals Lakshmi as the divine source from whom all material and spiritual prosperity flows.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Vasupradā is formed from the Sanskrit roots vasu, meaning 'wealth' or 'the divine Vasus,' and pradā, meaning 'one who gives or bestows.' Together they paint a luminous picture of the Goddess as the inexhaustible giver of all that sustains life. In the Vedic tradition, vasu encompasses not only gold and grain but the subtler riches of health, harmony, and divine grace.

This epithet appears in Lakshmi namāvalīs to honor her role as the supreme benefactress of the three worlds. Pronounced va-su-pra-dā, with equal weight on each syllable, it makes a melodious and auspicious given name.
