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?
