Tanushree is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Tanushree is a modern Indo-Aryan feminine name from Sanskrit Tanuśrī, written तनुश्री in Devanagari. The compound joins tanu, an adjective meaning slender, fine, delicate and also a noun for body, with śrī, splendor, beauty, prosperity, and the name of the goddess Śrī or Lakshmi. Taken literally, Tanuśrī is best read as slender beauty or one whose body has beauty/splendor; the looser divine body interpretation reflects śrī’s religious associations rather than a separate root.
Usage is concentrated in India and the Indian diaspora, especially in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and other Sanskrit-influenced naming contexts. Spellings shift with transliteration: Tanushri follows a closer rendering of śrī, while Tanusree and Tanusri reflect Bengali-style romanization. Short forms such as Tanu and Shree are common in family use. Public bearers include Indian actor Tanushree Dutta, and American birth records show only occasional registrations, with no sustained national ranking.
