Sushant meaning
Sushant (सुशांत) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Very calm or placid; thoroughly allayed
Also used to mean: peaceful, quiet
Sushant (सुशांत) is Sanskrit su-śānta, from su, "very, well", and śānta, "calm, appeased, at peace". Monier-Williams gives it as thoroughly allayed or extinguished, as of a fire, and as very calm or placid, as of still water in the Mahabharata. Name lists give Sushant as "calm", "peaceful" or "quiet", matching the dictionary. In Bengali and Odia it is often written Sushanta, keeping the final vowel. The actor Sushant Singh Rajput, known for films such as M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, brought the name wide recognition.
