Sricharan meaning
Sricharan (श्रीचरण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage).
Revered feet (śrī 'holy' + caraṇa 'foot'), the Lord's feet
Also used to mean: a name of Lord Vishnu
Sricharan (श्रीचरण) joins śrī, the Sanskrit word for radiance and good fortune that is also placed before holy names as a mark of honour, with caraṇa, "foot". Monier-Williams notes that caraṇa, like pāda, is used after a name to mean the venerable one, so the name speaks of the holy feet of the Lord, a central image of Hindu devotion. Name lists give "revered feet" or "a name of Lord Vishnu". The compound is not in the dictionary. It is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, also written Sri Charan.
