Sri has the original meaning of radiance, or diffusing light.[1] In Sanskrit grammar, Sri has the feminine gender but nowadays it is used as a masculine name prefix, equivalent to 'Mister' in English. It is gender-specific in Sanskrit, but the assumption that it is masculine has resulted in the titles of Shrimati (abbreviated Smt) for married women and Sushri for women (independent of marital status).
