Pritipushkarini (प्रीतिपुष्करिणी, IAST: Prītipuṣkariṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who overflows with love and affection”. From prīti (love, affection, joy) and puṣkariṇī (a lotus pond, that which is full and flourishing), this name honors Lakshmi as a boundless reservoir of divine love.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Prīti, rooted in prī (to please, to love), is a word of tender affection and delight, while puṣkariṇī refers to a pool or pond abundant with lotuses, evoking fullness and sacred beauty. Together, the compound paints Lakshmi as a divine lake brimming with love, just as a lotus pond is full with blooming flowers, offering shelter, nourishment, and beauty to all who approach. This image is especially dear in Vaishnava devotional poetry, where Lakshmi's love is described as inexhaustible.
Pritipushkarini is a poetic and liturgical name used in namavali recitations, occasionally given in full to daughters in devout families, though Priti alone is far more common. It is pronounced pree-ti-push-ka-ri-nee, flowing melodically across six syllables.
Scriptural source
Pritipushkarini appears in the Lakshmi Ashtottaram, among the sacred names of Lakshmi.
