Praveen meaning
Praveen (प्रवीण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Skilful, clever, experienced, well versed in
Praveen (प्रवीण) is the Sanskrit pravīṇa, which Monier-Williams glosses as skilful, clever, experienced and well versed in a subject. The word is still used this way in Hindi and Marathi, where someone praveen in music or mathematics is an expert in it. The Harivamsha names a Pravīṇa among the sons of the fourteenth Manu. Name lists give "skilled" or "expert", the same as the dictionary. The name is used across India, spelled Pravin in Maharashtra and Gujarat.
