Sethulakshmi meaning
Sethulakshmi (सेतुलक्ष्मी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam usage). By its first sound, से, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Setu 'bridge, Rāma's bridge' + lakṣmī 'good fortune; the goddess Lakṣmī'
Sethulakshmi (सेतुलक्ष्मी) joins two Sanskrit words. Setu, in Monier-Williams, is a bond, a dam or causeway, a bridge, and specifically Rāma's bridge to Laṅkā; lakṣmī is good fortune, prosperity, beauty and grace, and the name of the goddess Lakṣmī, wife of Viṣṇu. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword. The name is associated above all with Kerala, where Sethu Lakshmi Bayi ruled Travancore as regent from 1924 to 1931 for her young nephew, the last Maharaja. Sethu is also used on its own as a name.
