The name ''Shiva'' is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning “auspicious,” “kind” or “friendly.” The many aspects and functions of Shiva are represented in the various names given to him. The Hindu scripture called Shiva-Purana gives 1,008 names for Shiva. One of Shiva’s names is Shambhu, which means “benevolent” or “causing happiness.” Another name is Shankara, meaning “giver of joy” or “bestower of good.” As Mahadeva, he is the “great god.”
