Meaning & Lineage
Meaning: Lakshmana means "one endowed with auspicious signs (lakshmana)," the lucky and noble one.
Why Was This Name Given?
Sumitra’s son bore the marks of fortune from birth; he was named Lakshmana for those auspicious signs, and grew to embody loyalty so complete it has no equal in the epics.
The Story
Lakshmana followed his brother Rama into fourteen years of exile and never once thought of himself. He stayed awake for those entire fourteen years, it is said, guarding Rama and Sita through every night of the forest.
To name a child Lakshmana is to honour the rarest virtue of all — selfless, tireless love for family.
