Shriya

Meaning of Shriya

Shriya, pronounced SHREE-yuh (/ʃriːjə/) in Hindi, is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin meaning wealth, prosperity, or auspiciousness. It first entered the U.S. top 1000 in 1994 and climbed to its peak ranking of 837 in 2011 with 110 recorded newborns. In 2024 the name holds rank 906 with 44 occurrences, reflecting a stable niche following among South Asian communities alongside modest adoption in the broader Anglo-American population. Its concise phonetic structure and affirmative meaning align with contemporary naming preferences in English-speaking contexts—though, in the spirit of dry realism, selecting Shriya does not come with a guaranteed financial windfall.
