Sowbhagya meaning
Sowbhagya (सौभाग्य) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Kannada and Telugu usage).
Good fortune, welfare, happiness; beauty, charm
Also used to mean: prosperity
Sowbhagya (सौभाग्य) is the South Indian spelling of Sanskrit saubhāgya, formed from subhaga, "fortunate, lovely". Monier-Williams gives it as welfare, good luck, success and happiness, especially a happy married life, and also as beauty, charm and grace. The word is closely tied to the goddess: Lalita is praised as the giver of saubhāgya, and the Saubhagyalakshmi Upanishad is named for it. Name lists give "good fortune" or "prosperity", in line with the dictionary. It is a girls' name used mainly in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
