namam no. 373) vegavaan (वेगवान) (వేగవాన్)

aum vegavate namah (ओं वेगवते नमः) (ఓం  వేగవతే నమః)

He is called vegavaan  as He expressed undisputedly His nature of godliness, though He also lived and performed the actions of  an ordinary human in his childhood.

This namam also means that He had so much of speed that it was impossible for anyone to stop Him. That too, it was very special because He displayed all such power while he was still a child. Since the time of His birth, His actions such as decimation of demons like Putana, Shakataasura, Trinavrata, Aghaasura, Bakaasura, Vyomaasura, Vatsaasura, Kesi, Kaliya, etc in an unstoppable manner were simply extraordinary. The same is expressed here with the word vega.

When so many of the demons sent by Kamsa were so effortlessly killed by the little Krishna, Kamsa was very much annoyed and sent a highly powerful mystic demon Keshi, who took the form of a huge mad horse to kill Krishna. But when the Keshi approached Krishna with its mouth wide open to devour and kill Krishna, He pushed his hand into the mouth of Keshi, broke his teeth, and choked his throat to the extent that Keshi could not breathe any longer and suffocated to death. 

aum namo bhagavate vasudevaya!
