Shreya (श्रेया) is a Sanskrit name from śreya, meaning "auspicious," "beautiful," "fortunate," or "of good fortune." In Hindu philosophy, śreyas is the path of the higher good — that which leads to ultimate well-being, as opposed to preyas (immediate pleasure).
Shreya is one of the most popular girl names in India and is rising in Western records. The Indian playback singer Shreya Ghoshal has kept the name in international view.
Shreya reduces to nine — the number of higher purpose.
