Subrata Subrata (Hindi: सुब्रतो , Bengali: সুব্রত), also Subroto or Subrat, is a common name in India, especially among Oriya and Bengali people. The name is also somewhat common in Indonesia, as many people 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"). Subrata is one among the thousands names of the god Vishnu listed in the Vishnu Sahasranama
