Shaurya means ‘bravery’, ‘valour’ or ‘heroism’, from Sanskrit śaurya. Wiktionary connects it with śūra, ‘hero’, and records the Hindi given name. The word names the quality of courage rather than a hero as a person or a particular heroic deed. Its meaning is documented in formal vocabulary as well as naming. India's Shaurya Chakra gallantry award uses the same word, providing a specific public association.

Spelling and pronunciation
शौर्य is read shaur-ya, in two syllables. Shourya is another Roman spelling of the vowel written au. Keep r and y together rather than inserting an i between them. The exact vowel sound can vary by language, so a spoken example is more useful than an English rhyme alone.
Also spelled Shourya.
