About the name Sourav

Sourav is a Bengali and Sanskrit Hindu boy's name meaning fragrance and pleasant scent — evoking something that spreads warmth and delight to those around it without effort, like a flower that perfumes the air simply by being itself. The name is overwhelmingly associated in modern Indian consciousness with Sourav Ganguly, nicknamed "Dada" (elder brother), one of the greatest Indian cricketers and captains of all time, and one of the most beloved figures in Bengali culture. Born in Kolkata, Ganguly transformed Indian cricket during his captaincy (2000–2005). For Bengali diaspora families and cricket-loving Indian families worldwide, the name Sourav (SOW-rav) carries both a gentle Sanskrit meaning and the powerful cultural legacy of one of India's sporting icons.
