Subhashini meaning
Subhashini (सुभाषिणी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Speaking friendly words; soft-spoken
Subhashini (सुभाषिणी) is the feminine of Sanskrit subhāṣin, formed from su-, "well, good", and bhāṣin, "speaking". Monier-Williams defines subhāṣin as "speaking friendly words" and "spoken mildly or gently". Name lists explain Subhashini as "one who speaks sweetly" or "soft-spoken", which matches the dictionary. The related word subhāṣita, a well-turned saying, names a whole genre of Sanskrit verse. The name is used across India, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Bengal.
