Take the tour ×  How should I pronounce name Sharvan?
share|improve this question Hi misho - are you aware that this
is a Sanskrit word? Sharvan is not a word commonly used in
English, and so this question is off topic. –  Matt Эллен Sep 29

onomatomaniak Sep 29 '11 at 12:36 Sorry, my mistake, Sharvan is
not a Sanskrit word, it is a person's name. I was misreading it
as Shravan. I seem to be doing that a lot today. –  Matt Эллен

person with the name tells you to pronounce them.  Even in cases
where the word clearly comes from another language and you know
how that word is pronounced in that language, you don't know how
it may have been Anglicized since that person's family started
speaking English.  share|improve this answer add comment
