In Bengali, the word ''Prabhát(a)'' (প্রভাত - pɾɔbhat̪) means ''dawn'', ''morning'' or ''daybreak''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} The word ''Sauṋgiit(a)'' (সঙ্গীত - | In Bengali, the word ''Prabhát(a)'' (প্রভাত - pɾɔbhat̪) means ''dawn'', ''morning'' or ''daybreak''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} The word ''Saḿgiit(a)'' (সংগীত - ʃɔŋɡgit̪), also spelled as ''Sauṋgiit(a)'' (সঙ্গীত - ʃɔŋɡit̪){{sfn|Sarkár, Prabhát Raiṋjan|21/10/2007}} means ''song'' and ''music''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} Thus, ''prabhát(a) saḿgiit(a)'' or ''prabhát(a) sauṋgiit(a)'' etymologically means "morning song"{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} or "songs of dawn".{{sfn|Avadhuta, Divyachetananda Acharya|19/06/2009}} This is borne out by the [http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/biswas-bengali_query.py?qs=%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%97%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A4&searchhws=yes Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary], which defines the conjoint word (প্রভাতসংগীত) as "a morning song, a matin". A less literal and somewhat fanciful interpretation "Prabhat Samgiita" is "songs of a new dawn".{{sfn|Subramanya, Mysore|2008}}{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}} However, if ''Prabhat'' is recognized as the name of the composer, then the etymology of the two words is largely irrelevant. In that case, consistent with other similar collections of music like the songs of [[:wikipedia:Rabindra Sangeet|Rabindranath Tagore]], [http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/biswas-bengali_query.py?qs=%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0&searchhws=yes Rabindra Samgiita] (রবীন্দ্রসংগীত), ''Prabhat Samgiita'' would simply mean "Songs of Prabhat". As nothing like all or even the majority of these songs would rightly be classified as morning music, it is the latter interpretation that makes most sense. | ||
