Lakshmikant

Lakshmikant meaning

Lakshmikant (लक्ष्मीकान्त) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Beloved of Lakshmi; an epithet of Vishnu

Also used to mean: Lord Vishnu

Lakshmikant (लक्ष्मीकान्त) joins the name of the goddess Lakshmi with Sanskrit kānta, "beloved, lovely". Monier-Williams records lakṣmīkānta as an epithet of Vishnu, "beloved of Lakshmi", and also as the name of a king and of several Sanskrit authors. Name lists give the same meaning, sometimes worded as "lover of Lakshmi". The spelling Laxmikant is also used, especially in Maharashtra, and South Indian families often write Lakshmikanth. Well-known bearers include the actor Laxmikant Berde and the composer Laxmikant Kudalkar of the duo Laxmikant–Pyarelal.

In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
