Supriyo meaning
Supriyo (सुप्रिय) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Very dear or pleasant; name of a Gandharva
Also used to mean: beloved
Supriyo (सुप्रिय) is the Bengali boys' form of Sanskrit supriya, built from su-, "well, very", and priya, "dear". Monier-Williams gives the adjective as "very dear or pleasant" and also records Supriya as the name of a Gandharva, a celestial musician, in Buddhist texts. The feminine Supriyā is a separate girls' name meaning a lovely woman. Bengali pronounces the final -a as an -o, which gives the spelling Supriyo. The singer and politician Babul Supriyo is a well-known bearer.
