Garvit meaning
Garvit (गर्वित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Proud of something; also haughty, conceited
Also used to mean: full of pride
Garvit (गर्वित) is Sanskrit garvita, formed from garva, "pride". Monier-Williams gives it as haughty or conceited, and as proud of something, citing the Ramayana and Kalidasa's Shakuntala. The older word can describe vanity, but in modern Hindi garvit means proud in the good sense, as in feeling proud of an achievement, and that is how parents use it. Name lists give Garvit as "proud" or "full of pride". Garvith is the usual South Indian spelling.
