The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.

Advik (अद्विक) is a modern Indian boys' name. On name lists it is almost always explained as "unique" or "one of a kind". We could not find a Sanskrit word advika in Monier-Williams or Apte, so the name does not come straight from a dictionary word. It sounds close to two genuine Sanskrit words, advaita, "having no duplicate, peerless, unique", and advitīya, which Monier-Williams glosses as "without a second, sole, unique, matchless". No source we checked explains how the form Advik was coined or where its popular meaning comes from, so it is best treated as a recent creation that echoes those older words rather than a classical name in its own right.
