Subrata

Subrata (Hindi/ Sanskrit: सुव्रत, Odia: ସୁବ୍ରତ Bengali: সুব্রত), also Subroto (Read and written as by Bengalis and Javanese) or Subrata/Subrat/Shubrat/Subroto/Suvrat (Read and Written as by Odias), is a common name in India, especially among Oriya and Bengali people and in Indonesia especially among Javanese and Sundanese people. The name is also somewhat common in Indonesia because many people there have Sanskrit derived names there as well (in Java, Subroto is more common due to Javanese spelling structure of changing 'a' into an 'o'. It means "devoted to what is right"). Subroto (Suvrat) is the name of the 20th Jain teerthankara Munisuvrata Nath who was born in Nalanda district.
