Garvi

Garvi meaning

Garvi (गर्वी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).

Proud; from garva, 'pride'

Also used to mean: self-respect

Garvi (गर्वी, Gujarati ગર્વી) is built on Sanskrit garva, "pride". Monier-Williams gives garva as pride and also arrogance, and the related garvita as proud or haughty, so the Sanskrit word can lean either way. In Gujarati, garvī simply means proud, and name lists give Garvi as pride or self-respect, the positive sense. Many Gujaratis know the word from Narmad's 1873 poem Jai Jai Garavi Gujarat, which celebrates a proud and glorious Gujarat. As a name, Garvi is a modern name used mainly for girls in Gujarati families.
