Vilasini (विलासिनी, IAST: Vilāsinī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is radiant, playful, and full of divine grace”. From vi + lāsa (sport, radiance, graceful play) with the feminine suffix -inī, Vilāsinī captures Lalithā as the eternally playful, luminously graceful Goddess whose very existence is a celebration of bliss.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Lāsa derives from the root las (to shine, to play, to sport), and the prefix vi intensifies the quality, suggesting extraordinary brilliance and sportive grace. In Śākta theology, the universe itself is the vilāsa — the divine play — of the Goddess, so calling Lalithā Vilāsinī is to say she is the very embodiment of her own cosmic delight.

This epithet is shared with Durgā and Sarasvatī in various stotras, always evoking luminous, graceful power; as a given name it is melodious and dignified, pronounced vi-laa-si-NEE.
