Meaning & origin
Sharvil first entered U.S. records in 2009 and has climbed steadily, reaching a peak rank of 3240 in 2024. In that year, approximately 1 in 47447 boys received the name. Its trajectory has been rising since 2011, reflecting growing interest in names from Sanskrit tradition. Although still uncommon, Sharvil has found particular favor in New Jersey, Texas, and California, states with large South Asian communities. The name's meaning, tied to archery and skill, gives it a strong yet approachable character.
Sharvil derives from the Sanskrit word 'śara' (शर), meaning 'arrow,' extended to imply archery skill. It is a modern given name popular among Hindu families in India and the diaspora, often chosen for its martial and mythological resonance.
