Origin

Meaning and history of Srivar

The name Srivar is of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit language. It is a composite name, combining the elements 'Sri' and 'var'. The prefix 'Sri' is an honorific title used to denote respect, auspiciousness, and prosperity. The word 'var' can be interpreted as 'boon' or 'blessing'.

The name Srivar finds its roots in ancient Hindu scriptures and texts, where it was often used as an epithet or a honorific title for deities or revered personalities. One of the earliest recorded references to the name can be found in the Puranas, a vast collection of Hindu mythological and spiritual literature.

In the historical context, Srivar was a name borne by several notable figures throughout the ages. One of the earliest known individuals with this name was Srivar Acharya, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and grammarian who lived in the 10th century CE. He was a prominent figure in the literary and philosophical circles of the time, and his works on grammar and linguistics were widely celebrated.

Another notable figure was Srivar Nath, a highly revered Hindu mystic and saint who lived in the 16th century. He was a prominent figure in the Nath tradition, a spiritual movement that emphasized the attainment of self-realization through yogic practices. Srivar Nath's teachings and writings on meditation and spiritual enlightenment had a profound impact on the religious landscape of the time.

In the realm of literature, Srivar Vidyalankar was a celebrated poet and writer who lived in the 17th century. He was renowned for his poetic works that explored themes of love, devotion, and spirituality. His compositions were widely acclaimed and continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars and literary enthusiasts.

Moving forward in time, Srivar Ramanujan was a pioneering Indian mathematician who lived during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His groundbreaking contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of number theory and infinite series, earned him widespread recognition and acclaim. Ramanujan's life and work have been the subject of numerous books and films.

Another notable figure was Srivar Shastri, a prominent Indian freedom fighter and social reformer who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He played a pivotal role in the Indian independence movement and advocated for the abolition of social evils like untouchability and the promotion of education and women's rights.

These are just a few examples of notable individuals who bore the name Srivar throughout history, each leaving an indelible mark in their respective fields and contributing to the rich tapestry of Indian culture and heritage.

FAQ

Srivar: questions and answers

How many people in the U.S. are named Srivar?

Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Srivar going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.

Is Srivar a common name?

We classify Srivar as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.

When was Srivar most popular?

The single biggest year for Srivar was 2007, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Srivar is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.

What does the SSA popularity chart show?

The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Srivar in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Srivar a male name?

Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Srivar in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.

Is Srivar still being used today?

Yes. The SSA still recorded Srivar in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.

Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?

Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Srivar can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.

Where does this data come from?

First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.

Does every first name have Census demographic data?

No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
