Shivank

Meaning of Shivank

Shivank is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin, derived from Shiva, the Hindu deity of transformation, combined with the suffix -aṅk meaning “mark” or “impression.” Pronounced SHEE-vank (/ʃiːvæŋk/) in Hindi, it conveys a blend of reverence and quiet strength. Though it remains relatively uncommon in the United States, Social Security Administration records trace its steady presence since 2000, with annual birth counts typically between five and twelve—seven newborns received the name in 2024, placing it at 917th. Its modest popularity strikes a balance between uniqueness and familiarity, offering cultural depth without inviting daily spelling quizzes, and making Shivank a thoughtful choice for parents seeking a name that is both distinctive and approachable.
