Devaki First Name Meaning

Devaki is a female name of Indian origin, meaning "Black." In Hindu literature, Devaki is renowned as the mother of the god Krishna. She was one of the daughters of King Devaka and the wife of Vasudeva. The celestial prophecy about her eighth child being the cause of Kamsa's downfall led to her imprisonment by the tyrant. Despite the loss of her six sons, her son Balarama's survival and the birth of Krishna brought hope. After the demise of Kamsa, Devaki and Vasudeva were liberated, and later, Devaki nursed her deceased children in Patala. Following Vasudeva's passing, Devaki performed the sati ritual. Devaki is venerated alongside Krishna in the Devaki Krishna Sansthan temple in Goa, where she is depicted holding baby Krishna. This name holds deep cultural and religious significance in Indian tradition and mythology.
