Guivi is Georgian in Origin.
Guivi is a Georgian masculine name, best understood as a transliteration variant of Givi (Georgian: გივი). The name likely traces back to Persian Giv (گیو), a celebrated hero in the Shahnameh; as with many Georgian names of Iranian origin, an -i ending was adopted. Its precise lexical meaning is uncertain, but through the epic tradition it carries associations of bravery, loyalty, and martial prowess rather than a dictionary definition.
Use is well established in Georgia from early modern times, appearing among noble families and public figures (e.g., Prince Givi Amilakhvari in the 18th century), and it remains familiar today. Variants and transliterations include Givi (standard Georgian/English), Guivi (Russian-influenced or phonetic rendering), and Giwi (German/Polish). Related forms abroad are Persian Giv. The name’s compact shape and heroic connotations give it a traditional yet lively profile in contemporary naming.
