Srikrishna is Hindu, Sanskrit in Origin.
Srikrishna is a Sanskrit compound of Śrī (“venerable, auspicious, prosperity,” also an epithet of the goddess Lakshmi) and Kṛṣṇa (“dark, black”), the name of the beloved deity and eighth avatar of Viṣṇu. As a devotional given name it conveys “the revered Krishna,” “auspicious Krishna,” or simply “Lord Krishna,” invoking protection, grace, and good fortune.
The name has been used across the Indian subcontinent for centuries, gaining wide popularity with the Bhakti movement and remaining common among Hindus in India and the global diaspora. Regional and orthographic variants include Shrikrishna (Hindi/Marathi), Sri Krishna or Shree Krishna (with a space in anglicized form), Sreekrishna and Sreekrishnan (Malayalam), Srikrishnan (Tamil), and Srikrishna (Telugu/Kannada); the scholarly transliteration is Śrīkṛṣṇa. Common short forms are Sri and Krishna, with Kris sometimes used abroad. Related feminine forms include Krishnaa in some traditions.
