Subhasmita meaning
Subhasmita (शुभस्मिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
With a beautiful smile (śubha 'beautiful, auspicious' + smita 'smile')
Also used to mean: auspicious smile
Subhasmita (शुभस्मिता) joins two Sanskrit words: śubha, which Monier-Williams glosses as splendid, beautiful, auspicious and good, and smita, "smiling", or as a noun "a smile, a gentle laugh". The whole compound is not a dictionary headword, so the name is best read as "one with a beautiful or auspicious smile". It belongs to a family of smile names used in Odisha and Bengal, alongside Sasmita and Susmita. Name lists rarely explain it separately; the meaning above follows its two parts. In Odia it is written ଶୁଭସ୍ମିତା.
