Shreya is associated with ‘excellent’ or ‘better’, through Sanskrit śreyas and the Hindi feminine name. Wiktionary records the underlying adjective with senses of superiority or preference and related meanings of good and well-being. ‘Excellent’ is directly supported. ‘Auspicious’ is an interpretation connected with the broader word family and its associations with good fortune, rather than a definition listed for the cited form.

Spelling and pronunciation
श्रेया is read shrey-yaa, in two syllables with a long e and a long ending. Shreyaa makes the final length explicit. Keep sh and r together without an intervening vowel. Shriya is usually treated as a separate name, and the dictionary source śreyas has an additional final s.
Also spelled Shreyaa.
