Meaning
born of Saravana, the reed marsh where the god Murugan was born (Sanskrit sharavana). A signature of the grandfather and father generation: enormously common among Tamil men born in the 1960s through the 1980s, so in Tamil Nadu it now reads the way Gary or Dennis reads in the US, a devoted classic that today's parents honor through shorter Murugan names instead
