Amogha is a Sanskrit name (Devanagari: अमोघ) formed from a- “not” + mogha “vain, fruitless,” yielding the sense “unfailing, unerring, effective; not in vain.” In classical usage it functions both as an adjective and as a divine epithet, applied to deities such as Vishnu and Shiva, and in Buddhist contexts to Avalokiteshvara as Amoghapasha (“Unfailing Lasso”). The name conveys assured success, efficacy, and purposefulness.

The word appears in early scriptures and inscriptions and inspired regal compounds like Amoghavarsha (“unfailing rain”), most famously borne by the 9th‑century Rashtrakuta emperor Amoghavarsha I. Today Amogha is used across India and the diaspora, chiefly as a masculine name though sometimes unisex in South India. Common variants and spellings include Amogh, Amog, and Amoga, with compound forms like Amoghavarsha and Amoghapasha. Pronunciation typically follows uh-MO-gha, with a hard “g.”
