Mahalakshmi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Mahalakshmi is a Sanskrit-derived feminine name combining maha, “great,” and Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, beauty, and good fortune (from lakṣmī, “auspiciousness”). In theology it denotes the supreme, all-encompassing aspect of Lakshmi and, by extension, abundance, grace, and prosperity; the name invokes the consort of Vishnu and the benevolent blessings celebrated in festivals such as Diwali and Varalakshmi Vratam.

In use across India for centuries, it appears in devotional texts and temple dedications and remains a traditional yet widely current given name, especially in southern states and Maharashtra. Common variants and spellings include Mahalaxmi, Mahalakshmi (standard), and Maha Lakshmi; honorific forms add Sri/Shri. Diminutives and related names include Lakshmi/Laxmi, Maha, Vijayalakshmi, Padmavathi/Padmavati, and Srilakshmi. Parents often choose it to confer auspicious beginnings, prosperity, and protective grace on a daughter.
