The name means "The myna, the songbird, from the Sanskrit sarika, the talking bird prized for its sweet and clever voice. Classical Sanskrit literature features the sarika as a companion and a singer, so the name carries associations of music, charm and bright, lively grace." and belongs to the Nature cluster — names drawn from the natural world — earth, water, sky.
