Jaiveer meaning
Jaiveer (जयवीर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Hero of victory (jaya, 'victory' + vīra, 'hero')
Also used to mean: victorious warrior, brave conqueror
Jaiveer (जयवीर) joins Sanskrit jaya, "victory, conquest, triumph", with vīra, which Monier-Williams gives as a man, especially a brave or eminent man, a hero or chief, and also as heroism, one of the moods of Indian drama. Early texts apply vīra to gods such as Indra and Viṣṇu. The compound is a modern name read from its parts as "hero of victory", and name lists give "victorious warrior" or "brave conqueror", which fit. The spelling Jayveer is used in Gujarat and Jaivir in Punjab and Haryana.
