Siri meaning
Siri (सिरि) is a Hindu girl's name of Telugu and Kannada origin (from Sanskrit śrī).
Wealth, fortune, prosperity; beauty, splendour; a name of Lakshmi
Siri (सिरि) is the Telugu and Kannada form of Sanskrit śrī. Brown's Telugu dictionary gives it as "a name of Lakshmi, the goddess of riches", "fortune, prosperity, wealth" and "beauty, splendour, lustre", the same range of senses as śrī. Name lists give "wealth" or "prosperity", which matches. The name is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, and is short and easy to say in any language. It has no connection with the Scandinavian name Siri.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
