What is the meaning of the name Arvind ?

The baby name Arvind is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AHR-vind.

Arvind is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Arvind is a modern Indo-Aryan shortening of Sanskrit aravinda (अरविन्द), the earliest secure form of the name and a classical noun for the lotus, especially the red or blue water lotus. The word is lexicalized as aravinda- rather than a transparent later compound, so analyses from separate syllables are unreliable. In personal names its literal sense is simply lotus.

In India the name circulates mainly among Hindu families through Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, and Telugu usage, alongside Aravind, Aravinda, Aravindan, Arabinda, Aravindh, and Bengali Aurobindo. The lotus connects it with Lakshmi, often shown seated on the flower, and with aravindākṣa, lotus-eyed, an epithet of Vishnu. U.S. birth records show modest diaspora use from the 1970s, peaking in the early 2000s.
