Shrimata (श्रीमाता, IAST: Śrīmātā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The auspicious, radiant Mother of all”. From śrī (divine auspiciousness, luminous grace) and mātā (mother), this name proclaims Lalitā as the supreme maternal source from whom all creation springs forth in blessing.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śrī carries the fullness of divine beauty, prosperity, and sacred light, while mātā names the one who nourishes all beings as her own children. Together they form the very first name of the Lalitā Sahasranāma, establishing Lalitā as the primordial, all-auspicious Mother before any other quality is named. The name is preceded by the seed-syllables aiṃ hrīṃ śrīṃ, the bīja-mantra of the Goddess, indicating that Śrīmātā is herself the living embodiment of those three cosmic powers.
Śrīmātā is the opening epithet of Śrī Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī in the Lalitā Sahasranāma of the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa, revered as the queen of all her thousand names. Pronounced 'Shree-maa-taa,' it is widely given as a devotional girl's name across South India.
Scriptural source
Shrimata appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
