Srikar meaning
Srikar (श्रीकर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Causing prosperity, giving good fortune; a name of Viṣṇu
Also used to mean: bringer of prosperity, lord vishnu
Srikar (श्रीकर) is Sanskrit śrī-kara, from śrī, "fortune, prosperity", and kara, "making, causing". Monier-Williams gives the adjective as causing prosperity or giving good fortune, records Śrīkara as a name of Vishnu and of several authors, and lists the neuter śrīkara as the red lotus. Name lists give Srikar as "bringer of prosperity" or "doer of good" and often add that it is a name of Vishnu, which fits the dictionary. The name is used in Telugu and Kannada families, where it is spelt Srikar or Sreekar.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
