As a personal name, it became widespread in India and among the South Asian diaspora in recent decades, used mostly for boys but sometimes unisex, and aligning with modern preference for virtue names.

Common variants and transliterations include Shaurya (standard), Shourya, Saurya, Shaury, and Sourya; Shouriya represents an English spelling that echoes the diphthong “au” and appends -iya.
