Anupriya meaning
Anupriya (अनुप्रिया) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Liked, dear
Also used to mean: beloved
Anupriya (अनुप्रिया) is listed in the supplement to Monier-Williams as anu-priya, "liked, dear", a word found in the Mahābhārata. It adds the prefix anu-, "along, after", to priya, "dear" or "beloved", the word behind the name Priya. Name lists give "beloved", which matches the dictionary. Anupriya is used in North India; the actor Anupriya Goenka is a well-known bearer.
