It comes from the root word viśeṣa, which means specific or special. It's a name of Kṛṣṇa, indicating that His creation is unique in every aspect, and that means that there's no one particle that's the same as another. There's no one relationship that Kṛṣṇa has, as Brahmā mentions in his prayers, in the 14th chapter, of the 10th Canto, that it's multifaceted, or unlimitedly faceted, his relationships with living beings—they're all unique. So it means "unique Kṛṣṇa's unique nature and His unique creation." It's also a name of Lord Balarāma, found in the Balarāma-sahasranāma, where it says He is the knower of Vaiśeṣika philosophy.

And it's also an atheistic philosophy by Kaṇāda. In that philosophy, the word viśeṣa, or the root word viśeṣa, indicates his philosophy of how the universe works—their unique particles that, as I alluded to before, they have different properties, and when they mix in the combinations and permutations, they form, the different forms in the world appear from that process. And if you consider my name to be Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, and I would serve those who are illusioned by that philosophy by giving them Prabhupāda's books, that's a service that I would like to offer to the Vaiśeṣikas.
