About the name Marudevi
Jain accounts hold that Marudevi attained liberation before her own son did, achieving moksha while riding an elephant to see him, which makes her the first freed soul of the present age. The name is vanishingly rare on living people and survives chiefly in temple narratives, so giving it to a daughter is a deliberate act of retrieval.
Marudevi is a girl name of Prakrit origin, pronounced mah-roo-DAY-vee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 98 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the classical era.
