Together the compound evokes “auspicious excellence,” “glorious prosperity,” or “one who embodies the higher good with grace.” The term śreyas is well known from Upanishadic discourse (contrasted with preyas, the merely pleasant), while śrī functions both as a divine epithet and a general honorific, giving the name a refined, devout tone.
