Kavyashree meaning
Kavyashree (काव्यश्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (South Indian usage). By its first sound, का, it is a Mithun rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Splendour of poetry (kāvya 'poem' + śrī 'splendour')
Kavyashree (काव्यश्री) is a modern compound of two Sanskrit words. Kāvya means a poem or poetic composition, and in its oldest Vedic use wisdom and inspired insight; śrī means light, splendour and beauty, as well as prosperity, and is a name of Lakshmi. Together they suggest "the splendour of poetry". The compound is not listed as a single word in Monier-Williams, but both parts are. Names ending in -shree or -sri are used across South India, where this one is also spelt Kavyasri.
