Supriya meaning
Supriya (सुप्रिया) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Very dear, beloved; a lovely woman
Supriya (सुप्रिया) is the feminine of Sanskrit supriya, from su-, "very", and priya, "dear, beloved". Monier-Williams gives supriya as "very dear or pleasant", a sense found from the Atharvaveda on, and supriyā as "a lovely woman or favourite wife". It also records Supriya as the name of an Apsaras in the Mahabharata and Harivamsha. Name lists give "beloved" or "dear one", which matches the dictionary. The name is used across India, from Maharashtra and Bengal to Karnataka.
