History & Origin

Yashveer is a clear Sanskrit compound: yash, meaning fame, glory and good repute, plus veer from vira, 'brave, heroic'. Both halves appear across hundreds of North Indian and Punjabi names, and together they make a straightforwardly heroic one. It is common in India and rare in the U.S. (said 'YASH-veer').

It appears only extremely rarely for boys in the U.S., mostly in Indian families. Rare, strong, and clear in meaning.
