Swarup meaning
Swarup (स्वरूप) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
One's own form or nature; (as adjective) pleasing, handsome; wise
Also used to mean: true form, beautiful
Swarup (स्वरूप) is Sanskrit sva-rūpa, from sva, "own", and rūpa, "form, shape, beauty". Monier-Williams gives it first as one's own form or shape and one's own condition, character or nature, the sense used in philosophy for the true nature of the self or of God. As an adjective it can also mean pleasing or handsome, and wise or learned. Name lists give Swarup as "true form", "embodiment" or "beautiful", which match the dictionary. It often closes compound names such as Ramswarup or Shivswarup, "in the form of Rama" or "of Shiva".
