Naveen meaning
Naveen (नवीन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
New, fresh, young
Naveen (नवीन) is the Sanskrit navīna, an adjective built on nava, "new". Monier-Williams gives three senses, all from classical poetry: recent or newly come into being, as opposed to old or long established; fresh, unspoiled or not yet worn; and young, of tender years. The sense is simple and positive, and has not shifted over time. Indian name lists give Naveen as "new" or "fresh", which matches the dictionary exactly. Unlike many modern names it is an ordinary dictionary word with a clear meaning, and its English spelling varies mainly between Naveen and Navin.
