Revanth
A boy's name of Sanskrit origin with 68 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Revanth, you're looking at a name that fewer than 68 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The distinguished, classic ending gives Revanth a direct, strong feel that works well in both playground and boardroom.
Revanth is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Revanth is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'swift, quick, excellent horse.' In Hindu tradition, the horse symbolizes speed, nobility, and auspiciousness. Revanth is also the name of a son of the sun god Surya in Hindu mythology.
The horse imagery in Revanth connects the name to solar mythology and the pursuit of swiftness and excellence. It is widely used in Telugu-speaking communities in South India, carrying both mythological depth and vibrant energy.
EtymologyShow more
In the American context, Revanth is a boy's name with a focused stretch of recorded use (2000–2015). Its Sanskrit roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
With 68 total births, Revanth exists at the edges of the American naming landscape — a name known primarily to the families who carry it, giving it an intensely personal character.
