Srikrishna meaning
Srikrishna (श्रीकृष्ण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'the divine Kṛṣṇa'; also a name of various authors
Also used to mean: lord krishna
Srikrishna (श्रीकृष्ण) joins the honorific śrī, which Monier-Williams explains as meaning "sacred, holy" when placed before the names of gods, with Kṛṣṇa, the eighth avatar of Vishnu and the teacher of the Bhagavad Gita. Monier-Williams gives śrī-kṛṣṇa as "the divine Kṛṣṇa" and records it as the name of various authors. The name Kṛṣṇa itself means "dark, dark-blue", describing the god's complexion. Name lists give Srikrishna as "Lord Krishna", matching the dictionary. Srikrishna is the spelling used in south India, and Shrikrishna in Maharashtra.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Krishna.
