Chaarvi (चार्वी, IAST: cārvī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Beautiful, graceful”. Feminine of cāru — beautiful, lovely; the graceful one.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Chaarvi (चार्वी) is built from the Sanskrit cāru — beautiful, lovely, graceful — with the feminine ending. The literal sense is "the beautiful one" or "the graceful." Where cāru is the abstract adjective, cārvī is the personified feminine form.

In Sanskrit literary tradition cāru is the standard adjective for the heroine's beauty. Kalidasa's Shakuntala is called cāru-keśī (of beautiful hair); Sita is cāru-anganā (of graceful limbs). The word names a beauty that is gentle and natural rather than dramatic.

The doubled "aa" in the modern spelling Chaarvi marks the long Sanskrit ā; the simpler Charvi is equally common. To name a daughter Chaarvi is to wish her this natural grace as her keynote.

Pronunciation: CHAAR-vee. The opening "Ch" places Chaarvi under Revati nakshatra and Meena rashi.

Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
