Srivardhan meaning
Srivardhan (श्रीवर्धन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
'increase or increaser of fortune'; a name of Śiva
Also used to mean: one who brings prosperity
Srivardhan (श्रीवर्धन) is Sanskrit śrī-vardhana, from śrī, "fortune, prosperity, glory", and vardhana, "increasing, one who makes grow". Monier-Williams gives it as "increase or increaser of fortune", records it as a name of Shiva, and notes that it was also the name of a kind of musical composition and of a poet. Name lists give Srivardhan as "one who brings prosperity", matching the dictionary, and some link it with Vishnu, Lakshmi's consort. It follows the pattern of older royal names ending in -vardhan, such as Harshavardhan. Shrivardhan is the usual spelling in Maharashtra, where it is also the name of a coastal town.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
