First let's look at Sri.

Sri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Sri, Shri or Shree (Devanagari - श्री, Tamil - ஸ்ரீ, official IAST transliteration Śrī) is a Sanskrit title of veneration, a Hindu honorific stemming from the Vedic conception of prosperity. It signifies the goddess of wealth - Lakshmi, the wife of Vishnu. Lakshmi symbolises beauty, wealth and grace. It is pronounced halfway between sree and shree. Grammatically, the word belongs to the subjunctive feminine gender in the Sanskrit language.

[edit] Significance

Sri' is an epithet of some Hindu gods. It is also used as a prefix to the names of men and women who are considered great or holy, or who derive their power from that which is holy. When used as a title for gods, Śrī is sometimes translated into English as Lord, but this is inaccurate and it is generally agreed that Śrī is best left untranslated.

Śrī is one of the names of Ganesha, the Hindu god of prosperity. The origin of the word Sri is traced to the account of Lord Ganesha losing his head while protecting his mother Pārvatī. This is why He is the first to be worshipped in all the 'yagyas'.

[edit] General usage

Sri is the standard honorific, akin to Mr. in English, Effendi in Turkish, or Thiru in Tamil.

Sri/Shri is often used as a respectful affix to the names of celebrated or revered persons. It is not gender-specific, but the assumption that it is gender-specific has resulted in the title of Shrimati (abbreviated Smt) for women .

Another usage is as an emphatic compound (which can be used in multiple: shri shri, or sri sri sri, etc.) in princely styles, notably in Darbar Shri, Desai Shri, Khan Sahib Shri Babi, Malek Shri and Thakur Shri.

There is only one person with name only "Shree". He is from Bharuch-Gujarat India. His complete name is Shree(First Name) Wadekar(Last Name i.e Surname).

[edit] Place name

It is used in the name of the country Sri Lanka, which means venerable island.

Naidu is the last name of someone.
