Subodh

Subodh meaning

Subodh (सुबोध) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Right intelligence, good knowledge; easy to understand

Also used to mean: intelligent, good advice

Subodh (सुबोध) is Sanskrit su-bodha, from su, "good, easy", and bodha, "knowledge, understanding, awakening", from the same root as buddhi and Buddha. Monier-Williams gives the noun as right intelligence or good knowledge, citing the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, and the adjective as easy to understand or easily taught; Subodhā was also a common title for commentaries that made hard texts clear. Name lists give Subodh as "knowledge", "intelligent" or "good advice", matching the dictionary. The name is used across north and east India.
