Sreeraj meaning
Sreeraj (श्रीराज) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam and Kannada usage).
Śrī 'radiance, prosperity, Lakshmi' with rāja 'king'
Also used to mean: king of prosperity, king of Lakshmi
Sreeraj (श्रीराज) joins śrī and rāja. Monier-Williams gives śrī as radiance, beauty, prosperity and good fortune, and as a name of the goddess Lakshmi, and rāja as a king or the best of its kind. The name can be read as "king of fortune" or "radiant king"; some name lists say "king of Lakshmi", meaning Vishnu. The compound is modern rather than classical, but both parts are standard Sanskrit. Sreeraj is the Kerala spelling, while Sriraj and Shriraj are used elsewhere in India.
