What is the meaning of the name Sharat ?

The baby name Sharat is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SHUH-ruht (approx.) — IPA: /ˈʃərət/.

Sharat is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sharat is an Indian masculine name from Sanskrit śarad, the “autumn” season in the classical six-season cycle. It evokes clear skies, cool breezes, and the brilliance of the harvest moon (Sharad Purnima), and by extension connotes clarity, brightness, and mature prosperity. The name appears across Indo‑Aryan languages, often linked in poetry to purity of waters and the radiant “autumn moon,” a favored metaphor in Sanskrit and later Hindi and Bengali literature.

Variants include Sharad (Hindi/Marathi), Sarat (Bengali/Odia/Assamese), Sharath and Sarath (South Indian and Sri Lankan forms), with feminine counterparts Sharada/Sarada, an epithet of the goddess Saraswati. Modern spellings sometimes show diacritics (Śarad/Śarat). Usage gained visibility in the 19th–20th centuries through literary and public figures such as Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, and contemporary bearers like actor Sharat Saxena and filmmaker Sharat Katariya. The name remains pan‑Indian, traditional yet accessible, with seasonal warmth and literary resonance.
