Paramanand is Sanskrit in Origin.

Paramanand (Sanskrit Paramānanda, Devanagari परमानन्द) derives from parama “supreme, highest” + ānanda “bliss, joy,” conveying “supreme bliss” or “ultimate joy.” The term appears in Sanskrit and Pali (paramānanda) and is central to Indic philosophy: in Vedānta, ānanda is the bliss aspect of Brahman (sat-cit-ānanda), so Paramānanda evokes the beatitude of liberation (moksha). It also functions as a devotional epithet in Vaishnava and Shaiva literature.

As a personal name, it has long been used across North and South Asia, especially in Hindu communities, and as a monastic or honorific name among ascetics and teachers; notable is Swami Paramananda (1884–1940) of the Ramakrishna Order. Spelling and regional variants include Paramānanda, Paramananda, Paramanand, Paramaanand, and Paramanandam; Bengali and Assamese forms may soften vowels (e.g., Poromanondo/Paramananda). Common short forms are Param and Anand. The name’s serene, devotional tone makes it popular in devotional families and among those inspired by spiritual literature.
