Umamaheswari meaning
Umamaheswari (உமாமகேஸ்வரி) is a Tamil and Hindu girl's name.
Uma, the consort of Maheshvara (Shiva); Parvati
Also used to mean: goddess parvati
Umamaheswari (உமாமகேஸ்வரி) is a name of Parvati that also holds her husband in it. Uma is Parvati, the daughter of the Himalaya, and Maheśvarī is the feminine of Maheśvara, 'the great lord', one of the commonest names of Shiva; Monier-Williams gives both, and the Tamil Lexicon records makēcuvari simply as Parvati. Uma-Maheshvara, the divine couple seated together, is a favourite image in South Indian temples. The name is given to Tamil girls and can be shortened to Uma or Maheswari.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Parvati.
