Subhana

Subhana is a female given name of Arabic origin. The name is connected to the Arabic root س-ب-ح (s-b-h), which relates to glorification, majesty, and holiness. In Islamic usage, the word subḥāna appears in phrases such as Subḥāna Rabbī al-A‘lā, meaning “Glory be to my Lord, the Most High,” giving the name a devotional resonance that many families find meaningful.

In practice, Subhana is used within Arabic-speaking communities and among Muslim populations in South Asia and other regions. Transliterations vary, with forms such as Subḥāna or Subhana commonly appearing in Latin-script writing. The name is relatively uncommon as a given name but is encountered in personal naming traditions rather than as a widely documented public name.

Cultural and religious associations contribute to Subhana’s perception as a name with spiritual or reverent connotations. Because it evokes a phrase of glorification, the name is sometimes chosen to reflect faith or devotion.

There are no widely documented public figures or historical persons universally recognized under the name Subhana, and it predominantly appears as a personal name in community and family contexts rather than in prominent biographical listings. Related terms include Subhan and the common religious expression Subhanallah, which shares the same linguistic root and thematic emphasis on divine glory.
