Lhamu Nepali is in Origin.

Lhamu is a Nepali–Tibetic feminine given name deriving from Classical Tibetan lha “deity” + mo, a feminine suffix, yielding the meaning “goddess” or “divine lady.” It is common among Himalayan Buddhist communities in Nepal - especially Sherpa and Tamang - and often appears in compound names with day- or virtue-elements (e.g., Dawa Lhamu, Pema Lhamu, Ang Lhamu). Though chiefly feminine, the element occurs for males in Tibetan tradition (e.g., the 14th Dalai Lama’s birth name, Lhamo Thondup).

Usage is bolstered by religious associations with the protector deity Palden Lhamo, lending protective and auspicious overtones. Documented since at least the medieval Tibetan Buddhist period, it remains popular in modern Nepal; a notable bearer is mountaineer Pasang Lhamu Sherpa. Variants and spellings include Lhamu (Nepali/Sherpa), Lhamo (Tibetan), and Lhammu; related forms in compounds include Lhamu Dolma or Lhamu Kyi. Meaning-centered nicknames translate as “Goddess.”
