Shubh is an Indian given name from Sanskrit śubha (शुभ), meaning “auspicious, good, propitious, fortunate,” also connoting purity and beauty.

The element appears throughout classical Sanskrit literature and Hindu ritual phrases (śubham, “may it be auspicious”), while personal-name use became more widespread in the late 20th century across North and Western India and in the diaspora. Variant and related forms include Shubham (very common masculine), Shubha (feminine), Subh/Subha (alternate transliterations), Shubho (Bengali), and the affectionate Shubhi. It also features in compounds like Shubhankar, Shubhang, and Shubhendra. The name carries a hopeful wish for good beginnings, luck, and benevolence in the bearer’s life.
