Durga First Name Meaning

Durga is a female name of Indian origin, meaning "Unattainable." In Hindu mythology, Durga is a major goddess associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars. The name Durga is derived from the Sanskrit word "durgā," which literally means "impassable" or "invincible." Durga is widely worshipped by followers of the goddess-centric sect, Shaktism, and has significance in other denominations like Shaivism and Vaishnavism. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman riding a lion or tiger, with many arms, each carrying a weapon, and is revered for her role in combating evils and demonic forces to uphold peace and prosperity. The name Durga is popular in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and other countries, and is particularly celebrated during festivals such as Durga Puja, Durga Ashtami, Vijayadashami, Deepavali, and Navaratri.
