Shaurya
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shaurya: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2012.
Of Sanskrit origin, Shaurya means "bravery," "courage," or "heroism," stemming from the root *shura* (hero), and is a unisex name in India. While no globally famous real-life bearers come readily to mind, the name carries immense cultural weight in Hindu epics—it embodies the warrior spirit of characters like Arjuna in the *Mahabharata*. No direct place connections exist. Notably, Shaurya is also the name of a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, linking the name to modern defence technology—a striking contrast to its ancient roots.
