Shravya meaning
Shravya (श्राव्या) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage).
Audible, to be heard, worth hearing
Also used to mean: worth listening, melodious
Shravya (श्राव्या) is the feminine of Sanskrit śrāvya, from the verb śru, "to hear", the root also of śruti, the "heard" scriptures. Monier-Williams gives śrāvya as audible, to be heard and worth hearing, and also as to be announced or proclaimed. Name lists give Shravya as "worth listening" or "melodious", a fair reading of the dictionary sense. The name is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it is spelled Sravya.
