A name of immense spiritual prestige in the Gelugpa tradition

Sangye

Buddha — the Awakened One — as a living aspiration, a name that calls the child to embody the qualities of enlightened mind: clarity, compassion, and boundless awareness.

Subir

Extremely brave, a Sanskrit compound of su (very, well, good) and vira (hero, warrior, man of valour). The intensifying su lifts ordinary courage into something profound, so the name marks its bearer as not merely brave but heroically so, in the warrior ideal celebrated across Sanskrit epic.
