Abhinaba is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Abhinaba is an eastern Indo-Aryan given name from Sanskrit Abhinava (अभिनव), adopted chiefly in Bengali, Assamese, and Odia. The root combines abhi- “toward, intensely” + nava “new,” yielding the sense “new, fresh, innovative, youthful.” In classical Sanskrit the adjective abhinava is common as an epithet and in compounds (notably Abhinavagupta), lending the name an erudite, creative aura.

Use as a standalone personal name is most visible in eastern India from the late 19th century onward, aligning with modernist currents while retaining scriptural pedigree. Common variants include Abhinava (pan-Indic), Abhinav (Hindi), Abhinab and Abhinaba (Bengali/Assamese/Odia), and the feminine Abhinavi/Abhinava. Diminutives like Abhi and Naba are frequent. The name suits parents seeking a classical form that points to renewal, originality, and fresh beginnings.
