What is the meaning of the name Sharvan ?

Sharvan is Sanskrit in Origin.

Sharvan is a South Asian masculine name, a spelling variant of Shravan, from Sanskrit śravaṇa (hearing, attentive listening), rooted in √śru “to hear.” The word also carries the sense of “renown” (śrava), so the name can imply one who is attentive and worthy of praise. It is linked to the Shravana lunar mansion (nakshatra) associated with Vishnu and to the auspicious month Shravana/Sawan, widely observed in devotion to Shiva - children born then are often given this name.

In usage, Sharvan/Shravan is common across India and Nepal and resonates with the Ramayana’s Shravan Kumar, the exemplar of filial devotion, which lends the name connotations of obedience and duty. Variants include Shravan (standard), Shrawan (Nepali), Sharwan (North Indian), and the Sanskritic Shravana; related feminine forms include Shravani/Shravanī (“of the Shravana month”). Diminutives such as Shrav or Sharu sometimes appear in contemporary use.
