Sripriya meaning
Sripriya (श्रीप्रिया) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Dear to Śrī (Lakṣmī) (śrī + priyā 'beloved, dear')
Also used to mean: beloved of lakshmi
Sripriya (श्रीप्रिया) joins two Sanskrit words: śrī, which Monier-Williams glosses as light, beauty, prosperity and good fortune and as a name of the goddess Lakṣmī, and priyā, the feminine of priya, "beloved, dear, liked". The compound itself is not a dictionary headword; it is usually read as "dear to Lakṣmī", which is the meaning name lists give, though "beloved Śrī" is also possible. The name is used in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka; the Tamil actress and director Sripriya is a well-known bearer.
