Joel, I see what you're saying. In the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary I have there are no words beginning with "sr" except "sri." This word is of Sanskrit background, literally means "majesty, holiness," and is used "as a conventional title of respect when addressing or speaking of a distinguished Indian.

Maybe this word is related to the name of Sri Lanka.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
