Anubhav meaning
Anubhav (अनुभव) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Perception, understanding; experience, knowledge from personal observation
Anubhav (अनुभव) is the Sanskrit anubhava, from anu- and the verb bhū, "to be, to become", in the sense of "to undergo, to experience". Monier-Williams gives its senses as perception and apprehension, understanding, an impression on the mind that comes directly rather than from memory, and experience, knowledge gained through one's own observation. Indian philosophy uses anubhava for direct knowledge as against hearsay, and in Hindi anubhav is the ordinary word for experience. Name lists give Anubhav as "experience", matching the dictionary.
