Prashant
Prashant is derived from the word "shant" which means quiet, or tranquil. There are two theories as to the origin of the name. The first is simply that adding "pra" creates a superlative of "shant", so it can be thought of as meaning "Great Peace". The other is that it is a combination of two words: "Param" + "Shant" = Prashant. Of note, the Pacific Ocean is called the Prashant Mahasagar (प्रशान्त महासागर) in Hindi and Nepali, with the term "Prashant" being used to translate the English word "pacific.One more meaning that can be associated to name "Prashant" is Serious. Where "kant" means Light or aura.
