Anushree meaning
Anushree (अनुश्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (modern compound). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Radiance, beauty, prosperity (from śrī, with the prefix anu-)
Also used to mean: radiant, beautiful, Lakshmi
Anushree (अनुश्री) is a modern name made from the prefix anu-, "along with" or "following", and śrī, one of the richest words in Sanskrit. Monier-Williams gives śrī as light, lustre, radiance and splendour, and also beauty, prosperity and welfare; Śrī is also a name of the goddess Lakṣmī. So the name carries the sense of radiance and good fortune. Name lists give "radiant", "beautiful" or "Lakshmi", all drawn from śrī. It is used across India, often spelled Anushri or, in Kerala, Anusree.
