Barun is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Barun is a masculine given name from the Indo-Aryan tradition, a regional (Bengali and Nepali) form of Sanskrit Varuṇa (Devanagari: वरुण; Bengali: বরুণ). From the root vṛ “to cover/encompass,” it denotes “the all-encompassing one,” hence “lord of waters, rain, and the ocean.” In Vedic literature Varuṇa is an Āditya who upholds ṛta (cosmic order); in later Hindu myth he rules the western quarter and the seas, often riding the makara.
The Barun/Varun family of names has long been used across North India, Bengal, Nepal, and the Hindu diaspora, with periodic revivals in the late 20th–21st centuries. Notable bearers include Indian public figures such as Barun De and Barun Sobti. Common variants and related forms: Varun (Hindi), Varuna (Sanskrit), Baruna (Balinese/Indonesian), Borun (Bengali transliteration), and spellings like Varoon/Baroon. Meaning clusters: water, rain, ocean, and guardianship of moral order.
