Ishwari meaning
Ishwari (ईश्वरी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ई, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Mistress, queen; a name of Durgā or Lakṣmī, any goddess's power
Also used to mean: supreme deity
Ishwari (ईश्वरी) is the feminine of Sanskrit īśvara, from the root īś, "to rule, to own". Monier-Williams gives īśvara as able or capable, a master or lord, and God or the Supreme Being, and records the feminine as a mistress or queen and as a name of Durgā, of Lakṣmī, or of the śakti, the divine power, of any god. Name lists give Ishwari as "goddess", which matches the dictionary. In South India it is often written Eshwari or Easwari.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Durga.
