Vetri meaning
Vetri (வெற்றி) is a Tamil boy's name.
Victory, success, triumph
Vetri (வெற்றி) is Tamil veṟṟi, "victory, success, triumph". The Tamil Lexicon derives it from the native verb vel-, "to win, to conquer", and equates it with ceyam, the Tamil form of Sanskrit jaya, "victory". So Vetri is the pure Tamil counterpart of names such as Jay and Vijay, with the same meaning. It is an everyday word in Tamil, common in slogans and film titles. Tamil name lists give Vetri as victory, which matches the dictionary. The name is given mainly to boys, and it also begins longer names such as Vetrivel, the victorious spear of Murugan, and Vetriselvan.
