Dhanalakshmi meaning
Dhanalakshmi (धनलक्ष्मी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lakṣmī as giver of wealth (dhana + lakṣmī)
Also used to mean: goddess of wealth
Dhanalakshmi (धनलक्ष्मी) joins Sanskrit dhana and lakṣmī. Monier-Williams gives dhana as wealth, riches and treasure, and in the Rigveda as a prize won in a contest, and lakṣmī as a sign or mark, then good fortune, prosperity and beauty, and the goddess Lakṣmī, wife of Viṣṇu. Dhanalakṣmī is Lakṣmī as the giver of wealth, one of the eight forms worshipped together as the Aṣṭalakṣmī. Name lists give "goddess of wealth". The name is used in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
