Danushri is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Danushri is an Indian feminine name with Sanskrit roots, most closely linked to Dhana + Sri, meaning 'wealth' and 'auspicious radiance,' an epithet of the goddess Lakshmi. Some interpret it via dhanu 'bow,' yet the wealth/auspiciousness reading prevails; the sense is 'one who embodies prosperity and grace.' It appears across several Indic languages and communities, especially Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, and Kannada speaking families, as a name invoking good fortune and cultural refinement.

The spelling Danushri is a modern, phonetic variant of the older forms Dhanashree, Dhanashri, Dhanasri, and Dhanushree, which vary by regional pronunciation and transliteration. The name also echoes the classical raga Dhanashri/Dhanasri in North and South Indian music, lending it devotional and artistic associations. Usage in contemporary India and the diaspora has grown since the late 20th century, with affectionate short forms such as Danu and Sri. Common pronunciations include duh-NUH-shree and DHAH-na-shree, depending on language background.
