Aishwarya is associated with majesty, grandeur and prosperity, from Sanskrit aiśvarya. Wiktionary traces the word to īśvara, ‘lord’, and records meanings involving sovereignty and power. In Hindi, the sense of grandeur also supports associations with wealth and opulence. ‘Regal wealth’ is therefore an interpretation of this broader vocabulary of majesty. The given name adds a long final vowel to the dictionary word. In Vaishnava theology, aiśvarya also names an attribute of divine sovereignty.

Spelling and pronunciation
ऐश्वर्या is approximately aish-var-yaa, in three syllables. Aiswarya and Ishwarya are alternative forms used in South Indian contexts, and Aishwariya also appears. Keep sh with v and r with y. The name's long final vowel distinguishes ऐश्वर्या from the underlying dictionary word ऐश्वर्य.
Also spelled Aiswarya, Ishwarya.
