Sreekumar meaning
Sreekumar (श्रीकुमार) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam usage).
Śrī 'radiance, prosperity, holy' with kumāra 'boy, son, prince'
Also used to mean: prosperous youth
Sreekumar (श्रीकुमार) joins śrī and kumāra. Monier-Williams gives śrī as radiance, beauty, prosperity and good fortune, notes its use as an honorific prefix meaning "sacred, holy", and gives kumāra as a child, boy or son, a prince, and a name of Skanda. The name can therefore be read as "blessed son" or "radiant prince"; name lists offer "prosperous youth". It is a Malayali men's name, borne for example by the playback singer M. G. Sreekumar.
