Shripad meaning
Shripad (श्रीपाद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
Name of various men; literally 'revered feet' (śrī + pāda)
Also used to mean: feet of Lord Vishnu, holy feet
Shripad (श्रीपाद) joins śrī, "radiance, fortune, holiness", with pāda, "foot". Monier-Williams lists śrīpāda as the name of various men, and notes that pāda in the plural was added to names and titles as a mark of respect, so the name carries the sense of revered or holy feet. Name lists connect it with Vishnu's feet. In Maharashtra and Goa it is linked with Shripad Shrivallabha, honoured in the Datta tradition as an incarnation of Dattātreya. It is carried by the Goan politician Shripad Naik.
