Sreenanda meaning
Sreenanda (श्रीनन्दा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Delight and prosperity: śrī 'fortune, Lakṣmī' + nandā 'joy, felicity'
Also used to mean: joy of wealth, happy prosperity
Sreenanda (श्रीनन्दा) joins Sanskrit śrī, "beauty, prosperity, good fortune" and a name of Lakṣmī, with nandā, which Monier-Williams glosses as delight and felicity, personified as the wife of Harṣa, and also as prosperity and happiness. The compound itself is not a dictionary headword, so the name is best read as "joy and good fortune". Name lists give "joy of wealth" or "happy prosperity", which fit its parts. The name is used mainly in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh; Sunanda and Nanda are related names.
