Bhagyashree meaning
Bhagyashree (भाग्यश्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, भा, it is a Dhanu rashi name (Mula nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Fortune and prosperity: bhāgya, good fortune, + śrī, splendour, Lakshmi
Also used to mean: fortunate, goddess lakshmi
Bhagyashree (भाग्यश्री) joins two Sanskrit words. Bhāgya means good fortune, happiness and welfare, and śrī means radiance, beauty and prosperity; Śrī is also a name of Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune and wife of Vishnu. Monier-Williams lists both words, though not the compound. On name lists the name is given as "fortunate" or linked to Lakshmi, which follows naturally from its parts. It is used in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The actress Bhagyashree became widely known for the 1989 Hindi film Maine Pyar Kiya. Bhagyashri is another spelling.
