Ranveer

Ranveer meaning

Ranveer (रणवीर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Hero in battle: raṇa 'battle' + vīra 'hero'

Also used to mean: brave warrior, hero of the battle

Ranveer (रणवीर) joins two Sanskrit words: raṇa, which as a neuter noun means battle, war or combat, and vīra, "a brave or eminent man, a hero". So it means "hero of the battlefield", the same meaning given on name lists. The compound itself is not in the dictionary, but both parts are. The name is used across north India and among Sikh and Punjabi families, where it is often spelt Ranbir. Well-known bearers include the actors Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor.
