Dhanushree is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Dhanushree is an Indian feminine name from Sanskrit dhanu “bow” + sri “radiance, auspiciousness; epithet of Lakshmi,” yielding meanings such as “auspicious bow” or “radiant/holy bow.” The imagery evokes divine archery in Hindu lore (the bows of Shiva or Rama) alongside the protective grace of Sri. Usage is pan-Indian across Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, and Telugu, with distinctly modern given-name popularity; pronunciation is roughly dha-NOO-shree.
Some families treat Dhanushree as interchangeable with Dhanashree (dhana “wealth” + sri), an older form meaning “prosperous, blessed by Lakshmi.” Dhanashree/Dhanasri is also the name of a well-attested Hindustani raga and appears in Sikh scripture, lending the variant historical depth. Common spellings and variants include Dhanushri, Dhanusri, Dhanashree, Dhanashri, and Dhanasri; Shree/Shri are both acceptable. Nicknames Dhanu or Shree occur in everyday use.
