Anupam meaning
Anupam (अनुपम) 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.
Incomparable, matchless; excellent, best
Anupam (अनुपम) comes from Sanskrit anupama, from an-, "not", and upamā, "likeness, comparison": that which has nothing to be compared with. Monier-Williams gives it as incomparable and matchless, and also as excellent or best. Upamā is also the Sanskrit term for a simile in poetry. Name lists give Anupam as "incomparable" or "matchless", matching the dictionary. Anupama is the feminine name, and Anup is a shorter Hindi form of the same word.
