Q: Where did your name come from?
A : Hmmm !! Interesting question.. Never gave attention on my name – but I know so many people with my name BHARAT ( भरत ) around me… at least 10 to 15 whom i know since ages and in regular touch with them. People with name BHARAT usually needs to be know by their Surname or some attached nickname. I think in our country if boy is born and his sun-sign/rashi is Dhanu or Saggitarius ; first name people chosen was BHARAT ( भरत ).
As I searched for answer to this question… getting good feeling and happy to know meaning of my name !!
