US popularity comes from the US Social Security Administration's 2025 baby-name records — the ranks a name had among all babies born in the US that year. There are no such figures for Bangladesh.
Choosing together
Say it out loud
With the family name, and the way grandparents and friends will say it. A name is heard far more often than it is written.
Check the meaning that matters to you
Meanings here are the ones usually given. A name can mean something else in another language or family, so ask an elder, a teacher or a scholar you trust.
Think about spelling
Many Bangla names have more than one English spelling. Choose one and use it the same way on the birth certificate, passport and school forms.
A daak naam too
Many families choose a formal name and a pet name for home. They don’t have to match — the pet name is often the one a child hears most.
The names here are a starting point, not a complete list. Spellings and meanings in Bangla are being reviewed.
