“A Sanskrit name meaning infallible — one whose efforts never fail”
Amogh derives from Sanskrit, combining the prefix 'a-' (not) with 'mogha' (vain, fruitless), meaning 'not in vain' or 'infallible.' In Hindu tradition, Amogha is an epithet of Vishnu, referring to prayers and actions that never fail. The name appears in ancient Sanskrit texts as a descriptor of divine perfection and was carried to East Asia through Buddhist transmission, where it became associated with one of China's most influential Buddhist monks.
Amogh is predominantly used in South Asian communities, particularly in Maharashtra and Karnataka. It remains relatively rare even within India but maintains steady usage among Hindu families seeking traditional Sanskrit names with divine connotations.
In Hindu tradition, Amogh (also Amogha) is an epithet for Vishnu meaning 'one whose actions never fail.' The Buddhist monk Amoghavajra (705-774 CE) was one of the most influential figures in Tang dynasty Chinese Buddhism, translating over 100 Buddhist texts and serving three emperors.
