Navya meaning
Navya (नव्या) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
New, young; (a second word navya) praiseworthy, laudable
Navya (नव्या) rests on two Sanskrit words that Monier-Williams lists separately under navya. The first is another form of navīya, "new, young", from nava, "new"; the second means "to be praised" or "laudable". As a feminine, navyā strī is "a newly married woman". Name lists give Navya as "new", "fresh" or "young", and some add "worthy of praise", so the popular meanings match the dictionary closely. The name belongs to a large family of Indian names built on nava, alongside Naveen and Navika, and its short, open sound makes it easy to say in every Indian language and abroad.
