History & Origin

Sharav appears among modern Indian given names as a compact Sanskrit-style choice, generally glossed 'arrow' from shara, sometimes drawn toward Sharad, 'autumn'. Because no classical form is settled, routes are uncertain, which we note. Sleek, sharp-sounding, and contemporary (said 'SHAH-rahv').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely, carried by Indian-American families. Rare, Sanskrit-styled, and crisp.

Did you know? Sharav is most often explained from the Sanskrit shara, 'arrow', though it also sits close to Sharad, 'autumn'. Neither route is firmly documented, which we note (said 'SHAH-rahv').
