Shree meaning
Shree (श्री) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin, also used for boys.
Light, radiance, beauty, grace; prosperity, good fortune; the goddess Lakṣmī
Also used to mean: goddess lakshmi
Shree (श्री) is the Sanskrit word śrī. Monier-Williams gives a rich set of senses: light, lustre, radiance, splendour, beauty, grace and loveliness; prosperity, welfare, good fortune and wealth; high rank and majesty; and the name of Lakṣmī, goddess of prosperity and beauty and wife of Viṣṇu, as well as of Sarasvatī. The word is also the familiar honorific placed before names and sacred words. Name lists give "prosperity", "radiance" or "Goddess Lakshmi", all from the dictionary. As a given name Shree is used mostly for girls, and it begins many longer names such as Shreya and Sreeja.
