What is the meaning of the name Shravahn ?

The baby name Shravahn is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SHRAH-vahn (IPA: /ʃrəˈvɑːn/).

Shravahn is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shravahn is a modern transliteration of the Indian name Shravan, from Sanskrit śravaṇa (श्रवण), derived from the root śru “to hear.” The term names the Shravana lunar month and the Shravana nakshatra, whose symbol is the ear and whose presiding deity is Vishnu, so the name carries senses of attentive listening, receptivity, and auspiciousness.

In South Asia the name has long-standing use, reinforced by the Ramayana’s tale of Shravana Kumara, archetype of filial devotion; families sometimes choose it for boys born in the Shravana month or under that star. Spellings and related forms include Shravan (common), Sravan (South Indian), Shrawan (Nepali/Hindi), Shravana (Sanskritized), and the elaborated Shravanth; feminine counterparts include Shravani. Shravahn likely reflects diaspora orthography that preserves the long final vowel sound in English while retaining the “shra-” cluster familiar across Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages.
