Prashant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is true that in India there are so many names and each one of them has a meaning of it.

Prashant (Devanagari: प्रशान्त) is a common Indian boys' name derived from the word "shant" which means quiet, or tranquil. There are two theories as to the origin of the name. The first is simply that adding "pra" creates a superlative of "shant", so it can be thought of as meaning "Great Peace" (cf. Chinese Taiping). The other is that it is a combination of two words: "Param" + "Shant" = Prashant.

Of note, the Pacific Ocean is called the Prashant Mahasagar (प्रशान्त महासागर) in Hindi, with the term "Prashant" being used to translate the English word "pacific".

One more meaning that can be associated to name "Prashant" is Serious, means serious in his thoughts and activities.
