Shubham meaning
Shubham (शुभम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Auspiciousness, good fortune, welfare; auspicious, beautiful
Shubham (शुभम) is the Sanskrit śubham, the neuter noun of the adjective śubha. Monier-Williams gives the adjective a broad, warm range: beautiful, splendid and bright; good, pleasant and fit; auspicious, fortunate and prosperous; and morally good, righteous and pure. As a noun, śubham means anything bright or beautiful, then auspiciousness, happiness, bliss, welfare and prosperity, and also a good or virtuous deed. Indian name lists give Shubham as "auspicious" or "good", which matches the dictionary closely. The related names Shubh and Shubha come from the same word.
