Mahalakshmi meaning
Mahalakshmi (महालक्ष्मी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
The great Lakshmi, the goddess as the power of Vishnu
Also used to mean: goddess of wealth
Mahalakshmi (महालक्ष्मी) is Sanskrit mahālakṣmī, "the great Lakṣmī", from mahā, "great", and Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune and prosperity. Monier-Williams describes Mahālakṣmī as originally the śakti, the divine power, of Nārāyaṇa or Viṣṇu, sometimes identified with Durgā or Sarasvatī, and as the goddess worshipped at Karavīra, today's Kolhapur. Name lists give great Lakshmi or goddess of wealth, matching the dictionary. The name is used in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, and is often shortened at home to Maha or Lakshmi. Mahalaxmi is a spelling used in the North and West.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
