History & Origin

Ishaanvi is a contemporary Indian name formed in Sanskrit style. Ishana is an old name of Shiva, 'lord, ruler'; the -vi ending is a modern feminine close used freely in new Indian coinages. Names built this way are common today and are given with real devotional feeling, but the compound is not a classical one, and we note that honestly (said 'ih-SHAHN-vee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, Indian, and modern.

Did you know? The Ishaan inside Ishaanvi comes from Ishana, one of the names of Shiva, meaning 'lord' or 'ruler' — and also the north-east direction. The full name Ishaanvi, though, is a modern build rather than a classical one, and we say that plainly.
