Sreela meaning
Sreela (श्रीला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Prosperous, happy, wealthy, beautiful, eminent
Also used to mean: prosperity
Sreela (श्रीला) is the Sanskrit śrīla, formed from śrī, "beauty, prosperity, good fortune". Monier-Williams glosses it as prosperous, happy, wealthy, beautiful and eminent, with a feminine in -ā. Name lists that explain it give "prosperity", which is the dictionary sense. The name is used mainly in Bengal and Kerala; the Bengali film actress Sreela Majumdar is a well-known bearer. Shreela is the Hindi spelling.
