History & Origin
Jhavia reads as a recent invented name, pairing a decorative Jh- with the melodic -avia ending shared by Xavia and Octavia. It appears in United States birth records only in the late twenty-tens and was always extremely rare, given to well under a couple dozen girls in any year.
With no older paper trail, Jhavia is best understood as a personal coinage, and its origin is genuinely uncertain, which we note rather than invent one. Any nickname tends to be improvised, most naturally Javi or Via.
