Nabarun meaning
Nabarun (नवारुण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
The new dawn; the young morning sun (nava + aruṇa)
Nabarun (नवारुण, Bengali নবারুণ) joins two Sanskrit words. Nava means new, fresh or young, and aruṇa is the reddish colour of morning; Monier-Williams also gives aruṇa as the dawn, personified as the charioteer of the sun, and as the sun itself. Together the name suggests the new dawn or the young morning sun. The compound is not listed as a single word in the dictionary, but both of its parts are. A well-known bearer is the Bengali novelist and poet Nabarun Bhattacharya, whose novel Herbert won the Sahitya Akademi Award.
