Dharvi (धार्वी, IAST: dhārvī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The bearer; she who upholds”. From dhṛ (to bear, to uphold); the feminine bearer of dharma.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Dharvi (धार्वी) is built from the Sanskrit root dhṛ — to bear, to uphold, to hold firm — with the feminine ending. The literal sense is "the bearer, she who upholds." It is the same root that gives dharma — that which upholds the cosmic order.

A daughter named Dharvi is therefore named with this upholding-quality as her keynote — the feminine principle of bearing forth, of holding what needs to be held.
