Swarnalatha meaning
Swarnalatha (स्वर्णलता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (South Indian usage).
Golden creeper (also the name of a plant)
Swarnalatha (स्वर्णलता) joins svarṇa, "gold", with latā, "a creeper or vine", a word poets also use for a slender, graceful woman. Monier-Williams records svarṇalatā as "golden creeper", the name of a climbing plant. Name lists give "golden creeper", which matches. The spelling with -tha is used in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, and Swarnalata in the north and in Bengal. Swarnalatha, the Tamil playback singer, is a well-known bearer.
