Lhamu Limbu combines a Tibetan feminine given name with a Kirati ethnonymic surname. Lhamu (also spelled Lhamo) comes from Tibetan lha “deity” + feminine mo, meaning “goddess” or “divine lady.” Widely used in Himalayan Buddhist communities - Tibetan, Sherpa, and Bhutia - it appears both alone and in compounds like Pema Lhamo or Tsering Lhamo. Its prestige is heightened by association with Palden Lhamo, a prominent protective deity.

Many families also use specific clan surnames such as Nembang, Chemjong, or Tumbahang.
