Sreekala meaning
Sreekala (श्रीकला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam usage).
Śrī (Lakṣmī) with kalā, 'a digit of the moon; an art'
Also used to mean: goddess lakshmi, beauty of the moon
Sreekala (श्रीकला) is a Malayalam name joining two Sanskrit words. Śrī means light, beauty, prosperity and good fortune and is a name of the goddess Lakṣmī. Kalā, in Monier-Williams, is a small part of anything, especially one sixteenth of the moon's disc, and also any practical or fine art. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword, so the name can be read as "a portion of Lakṣmī's grace" or "beautiful digit of the moon". Name lists give "Goddess Lakshmi" or "beauty of the moon", both of which fit its parts.
