What is the meaning of the name Shrawaan ?

The baby name Shrawaan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced shra-VAAN (approx. IPA: /ʃrəˈvɑːn/).

Shrawaan is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shrawaan is a modern transliteration of the Sanskrit name Śravaṇa/Śrāvaṇa. In Sanskrit, śravaṇa (श्रवण) literally means “hearing, listening” and by extension “attentive” or “obedient,” while Śrāvaṇa names the monsoon month associated with the star Śravaṇa (a lunar mansion). The name therefore carries connotations of receptivity, devotion, and auspicious timing, with some traditions also connecting it to “fame” (śravas) earned through good conduct.

Used across the Indian subcontinent, Shrawaan is most familiar through the legendary figure Shravan Kumar of the Ramayana, emblematic of filial piety. Families may choose it for sons born in the month of Shravan or under the Śravaṇa nakshatra. Spelling variants include Shravan, Shrawan, Shraavan, Shravana, and regional forms such as Sawan; related feminine forms include Shravani/Shravanee and Shravanthi. The name is common in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and other Indic contexts, and travels well in the diaspora.
