Meaning, etymology & significance
Bhanvitha (भान्विता) is built from bhānu — the sun, one of the standard Sanskrit names for the solar deity — with the past participle feminine ending. The literal sense is "sun-blessed, endowed with the sun's qualities."
In Hindu astrology Bhanu is one of the nine grahas (sun graha). To name a daughter Bhanvitha is to wish her this solar-blessing — warmth, radiance, the steady warmth of the sun.
The name is particularly popular in South India (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka).
Pronunciation: bhaan-VI-thaa. Pair with South-Indian surnames.
