Manvika (मानविका, IAST: mānavikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Little human one; the small kind daughter”. Diminutive of mānavī (humane, feminine of mānava); the little humane one.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Manvika (मानविका) is built from mānavī — the feminine of mānava (human, descended from Manu) — with the diminutive ending -kā. The literal sense is "the little humane one" or "the small daughter of humanity."

Where Manvi (Phase 1) names the full humane quality and Manava (Phase 2) names "of humanity," Manvika gives the diminutive feminine form — appropriate for a child rather than for the abstract concept. The name carries the same dharmic-humanity resonance in a softer key.
