Meaning and origin of Sushanta
Sushanta joins su-, 'very' or 'well', with shanta, 'calm' or 'at peace', so it describes a deeply tranquil person. The final -a reflects the Bengali and Odia style of the name; elsewhere in India it is usually written Sushant. Shanta itself is a key word in Indian thought for inner stillness, and is the root of shanti, peace. The name has been widely used in Bengal and in Hindi-speaking regions for several generations.
