Srinaya is a feminine given name used primarily among Hindu families. It originates from two Sanskrit-derived elements: Sri, an honorific denoting prosperity, radiance, or the goddess Lakshmi, and naya, a common Hindi word meaning “new.
” The name is formed by concatenating these components without alteration, reflecting a literal compound meaning. While not prevalent in classical literature, the construction follows a recognizable pattern in modern Indian naming practices, where positive attributes are combined to create distinctive personal names.
Its usage remains limited, often chosen for its pleasant phonetics and meaningful literal sense.
