Shreyas is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Shreyas is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 boys have been named Shreyas. In the SmartGenius ranking, Shreyas is #2,563 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Shreyas.
In fact, the name Shreyas did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Shreyas seemed to be more popular than ever in 2009. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,611, 87 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names.

This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving boys with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
