Jhanvi
Meaning of Jhanvi
The feminine given name Jhanvi derives from the Sanskrit Jahnavi, an epithet of the sacred Ganges River meaning “daughter of Jahnu,” and exemplifies a direct transliteration that preserves the original phonemic structure (Hindi: jahn-vee, /dʒənvi/) within the Latin alphabet. Employed predominantly in Hindu naming conventions, it exhibits a systematic vowel–consonant pattern that facilitates cross-linguistic adoption among anglophone communities seeking names with South Asian heritage. Analysis of United States Social Security data from 2001 through 2024 reveals that Jhanvi has maintained a low yet stable frequency—annual instances have fluctuated between five and sixteen, with corresponding ranks ranging from 893 to 983—culminating in six occurrences and a rank of 944 in 2024. This distribution underscores its status as a niche selection, appreciated for its cultural resonance and phonetic clarity without attaining widespread popularity.
