Meaning & Origin
Anushree is a two-syllable girl's name with a bright, upbeat sound — lending a cheerful, energetic quality. With only 121 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Anushree is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Anushree is a girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin meaning 'beautiful' or 'one with beautiful goddess-like qualities' — from the Sanskrit elements anu (following, devoted) and shree (the goddess Lakshmi, symbol of beauty, prosperity, and grace). The name invokes the divine feminine at her most radiant.
Anushree is used across India, particularly in Maharashtra and Karnataka. It carries the dual blessing of devotion and beauty — a name for a daughter who follows the path of the goddess and brings the radiance of Lakshmi into the world.
