Abhinavi is a Sanskrit-derived given name meaning “new, novel, ever-fresh,” built on abhi- “toward/very” + nava “new.” It reflects the classical adjective abhinava and maps closely to the feminine Sanskrit form abhinavī, which explains the modern -i ending. The name carries connotations of originality, youthfulness, and renewal, and is chosen to bless a child with a spirit of innovation and a fresh outlook.

Use spans many Indian languages, with the -i form often favored for girls while the shorter Abhinav is common for boys; in practice, Abhinavi can be unisex. Documented as a descriptive epithet in ancient literature and echoed in names like the philosopher Abhinavagupta, it gained modern popularity in the late 20th century.
