Srikar Rao is Sanskrit, Telugu in Origin.
Srikar is a masculine Indian given name from Sanskrit śrī (“splendor, prosperity; the goddess Lakshmi”) + kara (“maker, doer”), yielding the sense “bestower of prosperity,” “auspicious one,” or “one who brings fortune.” It appears in devotional and classical literature as an epithet applied to deities such as Shiva and Vishnu and remains popular in southern India. Common variants reflect regional scripts and phonology: Sreekar (Malayalam/Telugu), Shrikar (Hindi/Marathi), and the short form Sri.
Rao functions here as a hereditary surname and historic honorific of the Deccan and western India, linked to titles for chiefs and administrators; it is etymologically related to Sanskrit rājan (“king”) and rāuta. The surname is prevalent among Telugu-, Marathi-, Kannada-, and Konkani-speaking communities. Colonial records also show spellings Rau and Row. Together, Srikar Rao pairs an auspicious, theophoric given name with a title-derived family name, suggesting prosperity and leadership.
Srikar Rao is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
