Swapan meaning
Swapan (स्वपन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Sleeping, dreaming; sleep
Swapan (स्वपन; Bengali স্বপন) comes from Sanskrit svapana, from the root svap, "to sleep". Monier-Williams gives svapana as the act of sleeping or dreaming, and the closely related svapna, on the same page, as sleep, dreaming and a dream; in Bengali svapan is the everyday word for a dream. Name lists give Swapan as "dream", matching the dictionary. It is a boys' name used in Bengali families, and a separate name from the Hindi and Marathi Swapnil, "dreamy", which comes from the same root.
