Sreeleela meaning
Sreeleela (श्रीलीला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu and Kannada usage).
Śrī 'radiance, beauty, fortune' with līlā 'play; grace, charm'
Also used to mean: divine play
Sreeleela (श्रीलीला) joins śrī and līlā. Monier-Williams gives śrī as radiance, beauty, prosperity and a name of Lakshmi, and līlā both as play or sport and as grace, charm and elegance; in devotional language līlā is the playful activity of the gods. The name can be read as "radiant grace" or "divine play". It is a modern compound rather than a classical word, and a well-known bearer is the Telugu and Kannada film actress Sreeleela.
