History & Origin
Shanvika is a recent Indian name, built from Sanvi (also Saanvi), an epithet of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and fortune, which we note respectfully — with the -ika ending seen in Deepika, Radhika and Kanika. Because it is a modern formation rather than a classical Sanskrit word, its exact gloss varies between families, which we note (said 'shahn-VEE-kah').
In the U.S. it is rare, carried by Indian-American families. Rare, modern, and melodic.
