Subiksha meaning
Subiksha (सुभिक्षा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Tamil usage).
Plenty, abundance of food; having ample provisions
Also used to mean: prosperity
Subiksha (सुभिक्षा) comes from Sanskrit subhikṣa, from su-, "good", and bhikṣā, "food, alms". Monier-Williams gives it as "abundance of food, abundant supply of provisions, plenty", the opposite of durbhikṣa, famine, and as an adjective "having good food". Name lists give "prosperity" or "blessed with good fortune", which follows from the idea of a full, well-provided home. The name is used mainly in Tamil Nadu, where it is spelled Subiksha.
