Srinath meaning
Srinath (श्रीनाथ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'husband of Śrī (Lakshmi)', a name of Viṣṇu
Also used to mean: lord of lakshmi, lord vishnu
Srinath (श्रीनाथ) is Sanskrit śrī-nātha, from śrī, the goddess Lakshmi, and nātha, "lord, protector, husband". Monier-Williams gives it as "husband of Śrī", a name of Vishnu, and records it as the name of various poets and scholars. Name lists give Srinath as "lord of Lakshmi" or "Lord Vishnu", matching the dictionary. In Rajasthan and Gujarat the related form Shrinathji is the name of the child Krishna worshipped at Nathdwara. Notable bearers include Śrīnātha, the 15th-century Telugu poet, and the cricketer Javagal Srinath.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
