Priyabrata is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Priyabrata is an Indo-Aryan male given name derived from Sanskrit priya ‘dear, beloved’ and vrata ‘vow, sacred observance,’ yielding senses such as ‘vowed to what is dear,’ ‘devoted to love,’ or ‘the beloved’s devotee.’ The second element, vrata, denotes religious fasting and disciplined observance in Hindu practice, so the name connotes steadfast fidelity to cherished persons, ideals, or duties.

The form is attested in classical tradition as Priyavrata, borne by a virtuous king in the Puranas; sound change in eastern Indo-Aryan speech (v > b) produces Priyabrata in Bengali, Odia, and Assamese. Regional and orthographic variants include Priyavrata, Priyabrata, Priyabrat, Priyabrato (Bengali nominative style), and the transliterations Priyavrata/Priyabrata. Contemporary usage is strongest in Odisha and West Bengal and among Hindu families who favor names rooted in ritual vocabulary. Common diminutives include Priyo and Brata.
