Meaning & Origin
a female given name
Urvi is a girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin meaning 'earth, the wide earth.' From the Sanskrit urvi (the wide one, the earth), it is one of many Sanskrit names for the earth goddess — an elemental name that connects the child to the ground beneath all things, the nourishing and sustaining foundation of existence.
Urvi is used in Hindu families across India and the diaspora, particularly in Gujarat, where it is popular as a short, accessible Sanskrit name with a beautifully grounded meaning. With 380 recorded births, it has genuine presence in South Asian American communities, chosen for its simplicity, its earthy meaning, and its clean, three-letter elegance.
