Savan is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Savan is a South Asian masculine given name, a vernacular form of Sanskrit Shravana, the fifth month of the Hindu lunar calendar and the name of a lunar mansion (nakshatra). From the root shru “to hear,” it conveys ideas of listening, devotion, and auspicious timing; in everyday understanding it evokes the monsoon, since this month (July–August) brings the rains and is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Used in Hindi-, Gujarati-, Punjabi-, and Marathi-speaking communities and among the global Indian diaspora, Savan carries cultural resonance through festivals such as Teej and the Kanwar Yatra, and through the Ramayana’s exemplar of filial piety, Shravan Kumar. Variants and spellings include Shravan/Shravana, Shrawan, Sawan, and Shaavan; related modern/feminine forms include Savani (“born in Shravan” or “of the monsoon”). The name is typically masculine, though sometimes unisex in contemporary usage. Common nicknames: Sav, Savi.
