History & Origin

Saarang comes from Sanskrit saranga, a famously many-sided word: it has been used for a deer, a peacock, a bee, a cloud, even a bow. In Hindustani classical music, Sarang names a family of midday ragas, and the name is often chosen for that musical resonance. The doubled aa marks the long first vowel (said 'SAH-rung').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., mostly in Indian families. Rare, musical, and Sanskrit-rooted.

Did you know? Sarang is a midday raga in Hindustani classical music — and the same Sanskrit word can mean a deer, a peacock, a bee, or a rain cloud. Few names carry a whole afternoon of music and a menagerie at once.
