History & Origin

Sarang has two independent homes. In Korean it is the ordinary word for love, and as a given name it is warm, plain and unisex. In Sanskrit, saranga carries meanings including 'deer' and 'dappled', and gives the name of a classical raga; Sarang is used there chiefly for boys. Families choose it from one tradition or the other, and we note both honestly rather than merging them (said 'sah-RANG').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely, for girls and boys alike. Rare, warm, and double-rooted.

Did you know? In Korean, sarang simply means love — the everyday word, said constantly. Quite separately, Sarang is a Sanskrit word (deer; a raga) and an Indian boys' name. Two real routes, one spelling — which we note honestly.
