Meaning and origin of Gourab
Gourab is the Bengali pronunciation of Sanskrit gaurava, 'weight', 'dignity' or 'honour', which in modern Indian languages means 'pride' or 'glory'. Elsewhere in India it is written Gaurav. The name became popular in the late twentieth century and suits families who want a short, modern-sounding name with a positive meaning. The Bengali pronunciation turns the long 'au' into an 'o' sound, giving GOH-rob.
