Suprabha meaning
Suprabha (सुप्रभा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Beautiful; very bright, splendid, glorious
Also used to mean: lustrous, excellent light
Suprabha (सुप्रभा) joins su-, "very, good", with prabhā, "light, radiance". Monier-Williams gives suprabha as "having a good appearance, beautiful" and "very bright or splendid, glorious". As a feminine name it records Suprabha as one of the seven tongues of the sacrificial fire, one of the divine Mothers who attend Skanda, and one of the seven forms of the river Sarasvati in the Mahabharata. Name lists give "lustrous" or "excellent light", which matches. The name is used in Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra.
