Sridhar meaning
Sridhar (श्रीधर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'bearer or possessor of fortune', a name and form of Viṣṇu
Also used to mean: lord vishnu, bearer of lakshmi
Sridhar (श्रीधर) is Sanskrit śrī-dhara, from śrī, "fortune, prosperity" and also the goddess Lakshmi, and dhara, "bearing, holding". Monier-Williams gives it as "bearer or possessor of fortune", a name and form of Vishnu found in the Mahabharata and the Puranas, and adds that it was the name of the month Śrāvaṇa and of many authors. Name lists give Sridhar as "Lord Vishnu" or "one who bears Lakshmi", matching the dictionary. Among its bearers is Śrīdhara, the early medieval Indian mathematician known for work on arithmetic and quadratic equations.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
