Devashree meaning
Devashree (देवश्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, दे, it is a Meen rashi name (Revati nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Approaching the gods, worshipping; read as deva + śrī, 'divine splendour'
Also used to mean: divine beauty, goddess Lakshmi
Devashree (देवश्री) joins Sanskrit deva, "god", and śrī, a word Monier-Williams gives as light, lustre and radiance, beauty and grace, prosperity and good fortune, and as the goddess Lakṣmī herself. Read this way the name means "divine radiance" or "divine beauty", and Indian name lists give it as "divine beauty" or "goddess Lakshmi". The exact word devaśrī also appears in the Yajurveda as an adjective, "approaching the gods, worshipping", and later as the name of a sage. In Bengal and Odisha the name is spelled Debashree, as with the actress Debashree Roy.
