Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Arav.
- The dictionary sense of the underlying Sanskrit/Hindi term ("crying, howling, noise") differs from the softer "peaceful"/"melodious" gloss that is widely repeated across baby-name websites; readers should treat the softer gloss as unverified popular consensus rather than documented etymology.
