Yashvi meaning
Yashvi (यश्वी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A modern name from yaśas, 'fame, glory, honour; splendour'
Also used to mean: successful
Yashvi (यश्वी) is a modern name built on the Sanskrit word yaśas, which Monier-Williams gives as beauty and splendour, honour, glory, fame and renown. It looks like a shortened form of yaśasvī, "famous, illustrious", the word behind the blessing yaśasvī bhava, "may you be renowned". Name lists give "fame", "glory" or "successful", in line with the root. Yashvi is used in Gujarat and north India; the form itself is not found in the classical dictionaries.
