Suborno

Suborno is a Bengali given name and an adjective meaning "golden" or "gold-colored." It is used in Bengali-speaking communities, particularly in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. The form derives from the Bengali word সুবর্ণ (suborno), which means gold or golden and traces back to the Sanskrit suvarṇa meaning "gold" or "golden."

As a given names, Suborno is typically masculine in traditional Bengali usage, though naming practices vary and feminine forms such as Suborna exist in some contexts. The name is often part of longer, compound names rather than used as a standalone surname, reflecting common Bengali naming patterns.

In cultural context, Suborno may be chosen for its auspicious meaning tied to value, beauty, and preciousness associated with gold. It can appear in literature and media as a personal name within Bengali-speaking regions.

Related terms include the Bengali word sonar, meaning gold, and the Sanskrit root suvarṇa from which সুবর্ণ is derived. These linguistic connections highlight Suborno’s meaning and its place within the broader landscape of Bengali and South Asian naming traditions.
