Tharun is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Tharun is a South Asian masculine name drawn from Sanskrit taruṇa, meaning “youthful,” “young,” or “tender,” with connotations of freshness and vigor. The standard pan-Indian spelling is Tarun; Tharun is a widespread South Indian English rendering influenced by regional orthography, not the English “th” sound. Related feminine forms include Taruni (“young woman/maiden”) and Taruna (often feminine in India, unisex in Indonesia). Nicknames such as Taru occur, though they may coincide with unrelated names in other languages.

Used as an adjective and epithet throughout classical Sanskrit literature, taruṇa later became a widespread given name across India. It is especially common in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam contexts, and has traveled with the Indian diaspora to the Gulf, North America, and the UK. Less frequent variants and Anglicizations include Taroon and Tharoon. Across languages the sense remains consistent: a celebration of youth, newness, and energetic promise.
