History & Origin

Shaanvi is a spelling variant of Saanvi, a recent but hugely popular Indian girls' name. It is used as an epithet of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune, which we note respectfully; glosses range from 'one who follows' to 'knowledge.' Because the name is modern rather than classical, the etymology is not fully settled, which we note (said 'SHAHN-vee').

In the U.S. it is rare, carried by Indian-American families. Rare, modern, and devotional.
