Srihari meaning
Srihari (श्रीहरि) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A name of Viṣṇu
Also used to mean: lord vishnu
Srihari (श्रीहरि) joins the honorific śrī, "glory, sacred", with Hari, one of the oldest names of Vishnu and Krishna. Monier-Williams records śrīhari as a name of Vishnu and mentions a festival of Śrīhari's rising, his awakening from sleep, held in the month of Kārttika. Name lists give Srihari simply as "Lord Vishnu", matching the dictionary. The name is used across India; Sreehari is a Malayalam spelling and Shrihari a Marathi one.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
