If not, then it should be taken off Wikipedia.

"Siri, a common Hindu female name, meaning "Goddess Lakshmi, Wealth, God's gift of love."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siri

Besides that, I know several Sikh women whose first name is Siri.

I do agree that Siri and Sri are the same, it's just a different way of spelling it.

Well...they're not Hindu, they're Sikh. Never heard of Siri referred to has a Hindu name, but India is a big country...

Did you check the reference for that?

Wikipedia simply points to a website full of names with no reference as to where they come from or statistics to back up the claim of it being common.
