Urvish meaning
Urvish (उर्वीश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Lord of the earth; a king, sovereign
Urvish (उर्वीश) is the Sanskrit urvīśa, "lord of the earth". It joins urvī, "the wide one", a poetic name for the earth, with īśa, "lord". Monier-Williams gives it as a king or sovereign, citing the Bhāgavata Purāṇa and the Kathāsaritsāgara, and also records the longer form urvīśvara. Name lists give Urvish as "lord of the earth" or "king", which matches; the gloss "brave" seen on one site is not in the dictionary. It is sometimes spelled Urvesh.
