Ishanvi is a feminine Sanskrit name derived from Īśāna, an epithet of the Hindu god Shiva meaning 'lord' or 'ruler,' combined with the feminine suffix -vī. In Hindu tradition, Ishanvi is a name for the goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, and thus carries associations of prosperity and grace. The name has seen growing usage among Indian families in the United States since the early 2000s.
