Shridatta is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Shridatta is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit, formed from Śrī (“splendor, auspiciousness,” an epithet of the goddess Lakshmi and of Vishnu) + datta (“given, granted,” from the root dā, “to give”). The meaning is “gift of Śrī,” understood as “granted by Lakshmi” or more broadly “gift of prosperity/fortune.” As a theophoric compound, it conveys blessings and auspicious favor.
Datta-compounds have circulated since classical Sanskrit and Prakrit (e.g., Devadatta) and continue across Hindu communities. Shridatta occurs today in Marathi, Kannada, and Hindi usage, sometimes in devotional contexts tied to Shree Datta/Dattatreya traditions. Common spellings follow regional transliteration: Sridatta, Shridatta, Shreedatta, Sreedatta; in eastern scripts the second element often appears as Dutta, yielding forms like Sri Dutta. Related names include Datta/Dutta and Devadatta. The name’s tone is traditional yet pan‑Indian, emphasizing prosperity and divine grace.
