Sahasra

Sahasra is the Sanskrit word for one thousand. As a given name, it draws on a number with a prominent place in Indian religious and literary language, where a thousand can suggest abundance as well as an exact count. The literal meaning remains numerical rather than a direct translation of infinity or divine light.

The word appears in titles such as Vishnu Sahasranama, a text devoted to a thousand names of Vishnu, and Lalita Sahasranama, associated with a thousand names of the goddess Lalita. These give Sahasra a substantial devotional background. A family choosing the name may value that religious connection, the idea of abundance, or the clear Sanskrit word itself.
