Meaning & History
The name Suporna (native Bengali: সুপর্ণা; Sanskrit: सुपर्णा) has its roots in Sanskrit and was later adopted into Bengali usage. It is formed from the elements su ("good," "beautiful," "excellent") and parna ("feather," "wing," "leaf"). Thus, the full meaning of the name is "beautiful-winged" or "graceful-feathered."In ancient Sanskrit literature, the related form Suparna is a title for the mythological divine bird Garuda, a revered figure known for his immense strength, speed, and service to the god Vishnu. Over time, the name Suporna evolved to symbolize "grace," "elegance," and "divine beauty" among Bengali speakers, especially in poetic, spiritual, and classical contexts.The use of natural imagery, particularly wings and flight, ties Suporna to ideals of freedom, aspiration, and celestial purity in South Asian cultural and religious traditions.
