Surekha meaning
Surekha (सुरेखा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A beautiful line; forming beautiful lines
Surekha (सुरेखा) joins su-, "beautiful", with rekhā, "a line, a streak". Monier-Williams records surekhā as "a beautiful line", the adjective surekha as "forming beautiful lines", and Surekha as the name of a woman in Sanskrit literature. Name lists give "beautiful line" or "beautifully drawn", which matches. The name is used in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Well-known bearers include the actress Surekha Sikri and Surekha Yadav, Indian Railways' first woman locomotive driver.
