Shreya is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "auspicious" or "beautiful," derived from the root *shreya* that conveys goodness and prosperity. It is especially popular across India and the global Indian diaspora. The most famous bearer is the acclaimed playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, whose voice has graced thousands of Bollywood films and earned multiple national awards. The name shares its linguistic root with the Sanskrit honorific "Shri," which lends itself to place names such as Sri Lanka and the sacred site of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple.

Its lyrical sound and positive significance continue to attract parents seeking a name that feels both modern and deeply rooted.
