Saanvi is an Indian name from Sanskrit, used as a title of the goddess Lakshmi and usually translated as "knowledge" or "the one who will be followed". It became a favorite in India in the 2010s and traveled with Indian families to the United States, where the double a marks the long first vowel. Saanvi first reached the US top 1000 in 2011, has been in it every year since 2022 and ranks number 944 among girls' names in 2025.
