Meaning & origin
Arvis is a Latvian name with a quiet history in the United States. First recorded in 1913, its peak year was 1914, after which usage dwindled to a stable but rare occurrence. With no top states and a trajectory that lacks dramatic spikes, Arvis remains a very uncommon choice. Its meaning, possibly 'field' from Latin or a variant of Scandinavian Arvid, connects it to agrarian and Old Norse roots. Parents drawn to short, crisp names with a Baltic flair might find Arvis appealing, though its rarity means it will likely never rank on national charts.
Arvis is a Latvian masculine given name, possibly derived from the Latin 'arvum' meaning 'field', or a variant of the Scandinavian name Arvid. It has been used in Latvia since the early 20th century.
