Kashvi

Meaning of Kashvi

Kashvi, as a feminine given name pronounced /kəʃvi/ in Hindi and derived from the Sanskrit root kash, meaning “shining” or “radiant,” represents a convergence of South Asian linguistic heritage and contemporary Anglo-American naming practices. Social Security Administration data from 2006 through 2024 indicate that the name has consistently occupied a place within the top 1,000 female appellations in the United States, registering 35 occurrences and holding the rank of 915 in 2024 after a measured oscillation between its highest placement at 907 (recorded in 2013 and 2019) and its lowest at 974 (in 2007). Such longitudinal stability, when examined through an analytical lens, underscores its appeal to parents who prioritize names that convey both semantic depth—through associations with luminosity and clarity—and phonological efficiency, as evidenced by its succinct two-syllable structure. The name’s gradual ascension and sustained retention within the upper echelons of naming frequency suggest that its semantic resonance and phonetic simplicity foster enduring cross-cultural applicability.
