Lovya is English in Origin.

Lovya is a modern South Asian given name, most often feminine, that fuses the English word love with the productive -ya ending in Indian names. It is also sometimes connected to Sanskrit Lavya/Lāva - the lineage of Lava, the son of Rama - or compared by sound to Lavanya, though the latter has a different root. Across these readings, the sense clusters around “lovable,” “dear,” or “worthy of love.”

The name does not appear in classical naming lists; its rise is recent, visible in late-20th and 21st-century usage in India and the diaspora, especially in North Indian communities where love-based names are common. Variant spellings include Loveya, Loviya, Luvya, and Lovia; related forms are Love, Lovey, Lovleen, Lovepreet, Luv, Lavya/Laavya, and Lavanya. Nicknames such as Lovi or Vya are used informally. Lovya is typically given to girls but can be used unisex, and its pronunciation is LOH-vyuh or LUH-vyuh.
