Tavishi meaning
Tavishi (तविषी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Power, strength, courage; a heavenly maiden
Tavishi (तविषी) is the Rigvedic word taviṣī, which Monier-Williams gives as "power, strength, violence, courage". Later commentators add that the word can mean the earth, a river, or a heavenly maiden, whom the lexicographers call a daughter of Indra. Name lists give Tavishi as "courage" or "strength", which matches the dictionary. It sits alongside the boys' name Tavish and suits parents looking for a short Vedic name.
