Lalitha Sahasranama Baby Girl Names

The Lalitha Sahasranama is the sacred list of the 1000 names of Goddess Lalitha Tripurasundari, the supreme Divine Mother, found in the Brahmanda Purana. It is said to have been composed by the eight Vak Devis at the goddess’s command.

Many can. Names such as Lalitha, Kameshwari, Bhavani, Vidya and Saubhagya are beautiful, usable girl names. Others are profound Tantric or descriptive epithets — wonderful for their meaning even when chosen as a middle name.

Lalitha (“she who plays / the lovely one”) is Tripurasundari — the goddess of the three cities/states, worshipped in the Sri Vidya tradition as the supreme Shakti who creates, sustains and dissolves the universe. She is honoured with the Sri Chakra.

Lalitha derives from the Sanskrit lal (to play, to caress) and means “the playful one, the lovely, the gracious” — the gentle, sportive aspect of the Divine Mother.
