Its use is widespread in India, especially in southern states where Sri-compound names are favored, and has been popular since the mid-20th century across Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil communities. Common variants include Sreelatha, Srilatha, Sri Latha, Sri Lata, Sreelata, Srilata, Shrilatha, and Shreelata; short forms Shree/Sri and Latha also occur. Often chosen in Lakshmi-devotional households as a wish for prosperity and graceful growth.
