Subhash

Subhash is a masculine given name of Sanskrit origin. It is derived from su meaning "good" or "well" and bhāṣa meaning "speech" or "talk," yielding "well-spoken" or "eloquent." The name is widely used in India and among the Indian diaspora, with variant spellings such as Subhas and Subhasha. It is common across Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and other languages.

In usage, Subhash is typically a first name but can appear in compound names or as part of a longer name. It is associated with qualities of eloquence and effective communication in cultural contexts.

Notable people bearing the name include Subhash Chandra Bose (1897–1945), a key figure in the Indian independence movement who led the Indian National Army; and Subhash Ghai (born 1945), a noted Indian film director and producer known for works in Hindi cinema. The name's popularity reflects its Sanskrit roots and the broad Indian naming tradition.
