Sreedhar is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Sreedhar is a Sanskrit-derived masculine name from Śrī (“splendor, prosperity; the goddess Lakshmi”) + dhara (“bearer, holder”). As a theophoric epithet of Vishnu and Krishna, it means “bearer/possessor of Sri,” often glossed as “husband of Lakshmi” or “one who holds fortune.” The name is widely used across India, especially in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil communities, and also appears as a family name in South India.
In literature and devotion it is attested as Sridhara/Śrīdhara, and has been borne by notable figures such as the medieval mathematician Śrīdhara and the Bhagavata Purāṇa commentator Śrīdhara Svāmin. Common modern variants and transliterations include Sridhar, Sreedhar, Sreedhara, Shridhara, and the Tamil-influenced Sridharan; short forms like Sri or Sree may appear in urban contexts. The name carries auspicious connotations of prosperity, grace, and protective support.
