About the name Subhash

Subhash means good speech, and in Bengal it is nearly inseparable from Netaji, whose portrait hangs in tea shops from Kolkata to Kohima. Boys named in the decades after Independence carried a small piece of that defiance with them, and the name still sounds like conviction.

Subhash is a boy name of Bengali origin, pronounced soo-BHAASH. On the NameRarity scale it scores 79 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1950s.
