Vashyashri (वश्यश्री, IAST: Vaśyaśrī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He whose Śrī is submissive and ever under his command”. From vaśya (submissive, under control, from vaś meaning 'to will or command') and śrī (Lakṣmī, divine grace and fortune), this name conveys that all prosperity, beauty, and auspiciousness are completely subject to Viṣṇu's sovereign will and never depart from him.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Vaśya is the adjectival form meaning 'one who is subservient to' or 'under the dominion of,' and when applied to Śrī it makes the theological statement that fortune itself is not autonomous—it is held entirely under the sovereign grace of Viṣṇu. This stands as a comfort to devotees: the Lord who controls Śrī can grant or withhold blessing according to his perfect wisdom. The name thus affirms both Viṣṇu's omnipotence and his compassionate governance of all good things.
Vaśyaśrī is used as a liturgical epithet of Viṣṇu in stotra traditions and is less commonly encountered as a given name due to its somewhat abstract compound nature. Pronounced vash-yah-SHREE, it is nevertheless a name of profound meaning for devotees meditating on the Lord's mastery over all grace.

Vashyashri appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
