Jayashree meaning
Jayashree (जयश्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
The goddess of victory; victory
Also used to mean: glory of victory
Jayashree (जयश्री) joins two Sanskrit words: jaya, "victory", and śrī, "splendour, fortune", which is also a name of Lakshmi. Monier-Williams records jayaśrī as a feminine noun meaning the goddess of victory or victory itself, and notes it as a woman's name and the name of a musical measure. Name lists give the same sense, sometimes as "glory of victory". The name is used across India, including the South and Maharashtra, where it is also spelt Jayashri or Jayasree.
