Manvik (pronounced MAHN-vik) is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin—“man” denoting “mind” and “vik” suggesting “valor”—that together evoke the notion of a “bold intellect.” In the Persian poetic tradition, where names often mirror moral and mental virtues, Manvik resonates as a quiet promise of insight and steadfastness. In the United States, its use has been modest but remarkably consistent, ranking within the top 1,000 boys’ names since 2011. After dipping to as few as five newborns in 2014, its occurrence climbed to 22 in 2024, earning the 902nd spot—a fluctuation akin to a flame that flickers yet never goes out. From an analytical perspective, this steady niche appeal allows Manvik to stand apart without vying for the mainstream spotlight, offering parents a choice both culturally rich and gracefully uncommon.
