Badal simply means cloud. Megh means a rain cloud, and Ghana means a dense, heavy rain cloud. Ghananand means bliss of the clouds, or abundant joy.

Monsoon month names for boys
Shrawan (श्रवण) is the best known form, and Shravan, Sharwan and Srawan are the same name in other spellings. Sawan and Savan soften the sound further, and Mansoon is a direct nod to the season. Each of them carries the feeling of the rains without describing the weather itself, so choose the spelling your family will find easiest to write.

Meghraj means king of clouds, while Sajal means moist or full of water, and also clouds. Nehal means rainy, and also beautiful or happy, and Barkha means rain or the rainy season.

Tips for parents
- If your baby arrives during the monsoon, a month name like Shrawan or Sawan keeps the season close.
- Decide on one spelling of Shrawan early, since Shravan, Sharwan and Srawan all sound the same but look different on paper.
- Match a short cloud name like Megh with a longer middle name so the full name has rhythm.
- Use the name finder to compare rain names with the rest of your shortlist before you decide.
