We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Tanvik (तन्विक) is a recent Hindu boy's name. Name lists do not agree on what it means: some give "king" or "ruler", others "wise", "a divine person" or "radiant". We could not find Tanvik in Monier-Williams or Apte. It appears to be a boy's counterpart to the girl's name Tanvi, which comes from Sanskrit tanvī, the feminine of tanu, "slender, delicate". The meanings parents see online therefore come from modern usage rather than from a dictionary entry. Its appeal is largely its sound, which is short and close to Tanish and Tanmay.
