Supratim (सुप्रतिम, Bengali সুপ্রতিম) appears in Monier-Williams only as a proper name: Supratima is a king mentioned in the Mahābhārata. Name lists today usually give the meaning as "excellent" or "an excellent image", reading it as su, "good, excellent", and pratimā, "image, likeness, statue". Both parts are real Sanskrit words, but the dictionary does not record that sense for the name as a whole, so it appears to be a modern interpretation. Supratim is a well-established Bengali name; bearers include the National Award-winning cinematographer Supratim Bhol.
