What's with the name Gaurav ?

I was looking for a game with GauravV that I played a while ago. I typed in ''Gaurav'' in the ''find player'' section and was preented with about 20 players, most of them new starts but not pawn stars, all of them with the same flag (I think its Indian). Is there some meaning/significance to the term ''gaurav''?

Yes it does seem funny that most of them have provisional ratings, and have hardly made any moves. Even though some joined months ago.

Gaurav is a common Hindu male first name. The literary meaning of the word "Gaurav" is pride. The word is usually used for representing a significant or great achievement in any field or discipline.

For example, in such a statement, "He has done his country proud by winning the gold medal at the Olympics."

The meaning of the word should not be confused with pride which also implies arrogance, self-importance and smugness.
