The V in Saurav/Saurabh is a BH in bangla.
The V in Swati/Svati is a W in the English transliteration of Bangla but is a B in bangla used solely to provided emphasis (as in Biswa/Biswa).
And there is the other B in bangla which is actually pronounced like a B (as in Bangla).
From there’s it’s only one step to Kevin Bacon.

All this proves that, as far as I can tell, there is no rhyme or reason to the translation of the name saurav, saurabh, sourabh, sourav, etc.

QED.

Are you sure you’re not bangali? :) Maybe we’re the same person.
