Varalakshmi meaning
Varalakshmi (वरलक्ष्मी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Lakshmi who grants boons: vara 'boon, blessing' + Lakṣmī
Also used to mean: boon-giving lakshmi
Varalakshmi (वरलक्ष्मी) joins vara, which Monier-Williams gives as a boon, gift or blessing and also "choicest, best", with Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune and prosperity. Together the name means "Lakshmi who grants boons". It is the form of the goddess honoured in the Varalakshmi Vratam, a prayer kept by married women in South India on a Friday in the month of Shravana. Name lists give "boon-giving Lakshmi", matching the two parts. The name is used in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
