 == Etymology ==
-In Bengali, the word ''Prabhát(a)'' (প্রভাত - pɾɔbhat̪) means ''dawn'', ''morning'' or ''daybreak''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} The word ''Sauṋgiit(a)'' (সঙ্গীত -  [ʃɔŋɡit̪){{sfn|Sarkár, Prabhát Raiṋjan|21/10/2007}} also spelled as ''Saḿgiit(a)'' (সংগীত -  ʃɔŋɡgit̪) means ''song'' and ''music''.{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} Thus, ''prabhát(a) sauṋgiit(a)'' or ''prabhát(a) saḿgiit(a)'' etymologically means "morning song"{{sfn|Biswas, Sailendra}} or "songs of dawn".{{sfn|Avadhuta, Divyachetananda Acharya|19/06/2009}} It has also been interpreted as "songs of a new dawn".{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}{{sfn|Subramanya, Mysore|2008}} However, if ''Prabhat'' is interpreted as the name of the composer, then the etymology of that word is largely irrelevant. In that case, ''Prabhat Samgiita'' would simply mean "songs of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar".
+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.
 == Name and variants ==
-Prabhat Samgiita has two most commonly used definitions, namely: "Songs of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar|Prabhat]]" and "Songs of a New Dawn"{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}.{{sfn|Sarkár, Subhas|31/12/2010}}{{sfn|The Hindu|21/03/2008}} In light of other similar collections (for example, [[wikipedia:Meera|Meera Bhajans]], [[wikipedia:Rabindra Sangeet|Rabindra Sangeet]], and [[wikipedia:Nazrul Geeti|Nazrul Geeti]]), the former definition seems the most appropriate.
+Prabhat Samgiita is commonly translated as either "Songs of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar|Prabhat]]" or "Songs of a New Dawn"{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}{{sfn|Sarkár, Subhas|31/12/2010}}{{sfn|The Hindu|21/03/2008}} However, while ''prabhát'' does mean "daybreak" or "dawn", it does not mean "new dawn". And, in light of other similar collections (for example, [[wikipedia:Meera|Meera Bhajans]], [[wikipedia:Rabindra Sangeet|Rabindra Sangeet]], and [[wikipedia:Nazrul Geeti|Nazrul Geeti]]), the former definition (Songs of Prabhat) seems the most appropriate.
-Prabhat Samgiita has many spelling variants, with the following reasons: the word ''saḿgiit'' has two different spellings in Bengali, there is no fixed transliteration rule for most Indian languages, there are also different transcription conventions used in English for Indian languages, the Sanskrit pronunciation has an "a" at the end of both words, which is normally silent in Bengali and Hindi.
+Prabhat Samgiita has many spelling variants. There are many reasons for this. Currently, there is not just one commonly accepted Bengali-English transliteration. And, even were there only one accepted transliteration, multiple possibilities would still exist. In addition, the word ''saḿgiita'' has two different spellings in Bengali.

+Thus we have the word ''prabhát'' that can be spelled as:
 *''Prabhat'', ''Prabhát'', ''Prabhāt'', ''Prabhata'', ''Prabháta'', ''Prabhāta''
