Haripriya

Haripriya meaning

Haripriya (हरिप्रिया) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.

Beloved of Hari; Lakṣmī; also the earth and holy basil

Also used to mean: beloved of Vishnu, Lakshmi

Haripriya (हरिप्रिया) joins hari, a name of Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa, with priyā, "beloved". Monier-Williams records hari-priyā as a name of Lakṣmī, Viṣṇu's consort, and also of the earth and of tulasī, the holy basil that is sacred to Viṣṇu. The masculine hari-priya, "dear to Viṣṇu", is used of the kadamba tree and of the conch. Name lists give Haripriya as "beloved of Vishnu" or as a name of Lakshmi, which matches the dictionary. The name is used across India, including the South.

In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
