Tavish meaning
Tavish (तविष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Vedic).
Strong, energetic, courageous; (noun) the ocean; heaven
Tavish (तविष) is the Vedic Sanskrit taviṣa. In the Ṛg-veda it is an adjective meaning strong, energetic and courageous, and the neuter noun means power or strength. Later grammarians also record the masculine noun in the senses "the ocean" and "heaven". Name lists give Tavish as "heaven" or "courageous", and both of these are in Monier-Williams. The Scottish name Tavish, a Gaelic form of Thomas, is a separate name that happens to sound the same, which makes this one easy for families living abroad. The related girl's name is Tavishi.
