Spandan meaning
Spandan (स्पन्दन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi and Bengali usage).
Throbbing, pulsation, quivering; throbbing with life; quick movement
Also used to mean: heartbeat, pulse
Spandan (स्पन्दन) is Sanskrit spandana, from the verb spand, "to quiver, throb". Monier-Williams gives it as throbbing, pulsation and quivering, and also as throbbing with life, the quickening of a child in the womb, and quick movement. Name lists give "heartbeat" or "pulse", which follow the dictionary closely. Spandan is the boys' form used in Maharashtra and Bengal, while Spandana, the same word with a final -a, is a girls' name in the Telugu and Kannada states.
