What is the meaning of the name Supriya ?

The baby name Supriya is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced soo-PREE-yuh.

Supriya is Sanskrit in Origin.

Supriya is the usual romanization of Sanskrit Supriyā (सुप्रिया), the feminine form of the adjective supriya. The name belongs to Sanskrit, with the earliest form analyzable within classical Indo-Aryan morphology: su-, a prefix meaning good, well, or very, joined to priya, dear, beloved, agreeable. In feminine naming the final -ā marks grammatical gender, so the literal sense is good beloved or very dear.

As a personal name, Supriya is best established in modern Indian languages, especially Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Odia, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil, and it also appears in Thai as a Sanskritic borrowing. Actors Supriya Pathak and Supriya Pilgaonkar and politician Supriya Sule reflect its use in post-independence India. Spellings follow transliteration habits: Supriyā for scholarly Sanskrit, Supreeya for an English-based long vowel, and local scripts such as Devanagari सुप्रिया or Bengali সুপ্রিয়া. In the United States it has remained uncommon, with small, intermittent Social Security counts since the 1980s.
