We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hetvi (हेत्वी) is a modern Gujarati name, and name lists usually give it as "love" or "affection". We could not find the name in the classical dictionaries. Families often connect it with the Gujarati word het, "affection", the same sound as in the older name Hetal, but we were unable to check that word in a primary dictionary. The closest dictionary words, Sanskrit hetu and Hindi het, both mean a cause or motive, which is a different sense. Some lists give "purpose" for that reason. The name is used mainly in Gujarati families.
