ArchivesRe: Aarav
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
But where did Akshay Kumar get Aarav from? In Sanskrit, it would mean either a cry (or related meanings), ultimately from the prefix A- implying closeness or limit, the root ru meaning to sound and cognate with the IE root in English raucous; or as a loan word, it could mean a person from Arabia. Does it instead perhaps mean a pleasing sound in some Indian language, I wonder.
Or is this influenced by some other name (e.g. aurava), or from some other language altogether?

You mean to say it is kind of a "Sanskrit way" of calling " an Arab." Funny...isn't it. I wonder if this helps you with something http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_the_word_'aarav'
I have these thoughts of converting "California" to "Kelipoorna" (that could mean playful in Sanskrit) and stuff like that.

But I do not know where they got the Sanskrit meaning from. It is not in the dictionary, the halant is almost certainly incorrect, and I have never seen it used with that meaning in Sanskrit.
So, I am not sure that Sanskrit meaning is correct.
(Yes, changing other words to Sanskrit pronounciation is a very old habit: the Greek names of the constellations were re-pronounced in Sanskrit as I describe on my page http://tanmoy.tripod.com/naksatra.html#solar)
