Meaning & origin
Sanvi entered U.S. naming records in 2003, a relatively recent addition that quickly found an audience. It reached its peak rank of 2410 in 2011, after which it began a gradual decline; by 2025, its rank remained 2410 but with a falling trajectory since 2012. The name is especially popular in states like Washington, New Jersey, and Illinois. While still uncommon nationally at around 1 in 21,720 births in 2025, Sanvi has established a steady presence among families seeking a name with Sanskrit roots and a modern feel.
Sanvi is of Sanskrit origin, derived from the word meaning 'goddess Lakshmi' or 'knowledge.' It is a modern name that has gained popularity in India and among the Indian diaspora since the early 2000s. The name is often chosen for its auspicious associations in Hindu culture.
