Shripaad as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Shripaad

What is the meaning of the name Shripaad ?

The baby name Shripaad is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SHREE-paad (IPA: /ʃriːpɑːd/).

Shripaad is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shripaad is a Sanskrit-derived masculine name formed from śrī (“splendor, auspiciousness; honorific linked to Lakshmi and Vishnu”) and pāda (“foot”). It conveys ‘the revered/auspicious feet,’ a devotional image in Hindu thought symbolizing refuge at the Lord’s feet and the bestowal of grace and prosperity. In liturgical language it commonly denotes the deity’s blessed feet, a focus of veneration in hymns and ritual, and by extension can suggest a person endowed with sanctity or worthy of reverence.

The name appears across Vaishnava and broader Hindu communities - especially Marathi, Konkani, Kannada, and Telugu - where Śrīpāda is encountered in bhakti literature and as an honorific for saints (e.g., Śrīpāda Śrīvallabha of the Datta tradition). Notable bearers include Indian scholar Shripad Damodar Satwalekar and politician Shripad Naik. Variants and transliterations include Shripad, Sripad, Sripaad, Shripada, and Sripada. Note that Śrīpāda also appears as a reverential title, distinct from its use as a given name.
