MEANING of Indian girl name
Raavi /Raawi रावी - sounding, roaring ,praise. It is derived from Sanskrit word Raav / राव. It is the name of a river in India
It shouldn't be confused with Sanskrit boy name Ravi / रवि which means Sun

The name of the river rAvi comes from Sanskrit irAvatI. irA is probably ultimately from a root iS (though, Sanskrit grammarians usually explain it differently), to move fast or flow. Whatever the source, irA means a refreshing drink, but the meaning extended to food in general. irAvatI is something/someone who provides food.ravi meaning sun comes from a different, but not quite clear, source. Sanskrit grammarians lint it to the root ru, to roar, but the semantic connection is weak.
