Dhruv is Sanskrit in Origin.
Dhruv is a masculine name from Sanskrit dhruva, “fixed, steadfast, immovable,” also a title of the Pole Star. In Hindu lore, the boy-prince Dhruva attains a permanent place in the sky through devotion to Vishnu (Bhagavata Purana), anchoring the name’s sense of constancy and guidance. It has circulated widely across India via Sanskritic story and ritual, and remains common among Hindu families at home and in the diaspora.
Variants include Dhruva (classical), Dhrub/Dhruba (Bengali–Assamese), and short forms Dhru or Dru; Dhruv is the prevalent modern spelling. Related feminine names Dhriti/Dhruti share the dhr root but differ in form. Usage strengthened from the late 20th century, and the name surfaces in contemporary references such as the HAL Dhruv helicopter. Overall meaning centers on steadfastness, dependability, and the guiding North Star.
