What is the meaning of the name Navi ?

The baby name Navi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced nah-VEE.

Navi is Hebrew, Sanskrit in Origin.

Navi is most securely explained from Biblical Hebrew נָבִיא, transliterated nāḇîʾ, a noun for a prophet or one who speaks under divine commission. Its older Semitic morphology is usually connected with the consonantal root n-b-ʾ, though the precise verbal base is debated. A separate South Asian reading treats Navi as a modern short form influenced by Sanskrit nava, new, rather than an ancient Sanskrit name.

In Jewish contexts the word belongs to biblical and liturgical vocabulary, familiar from Nevi’im, the Prophets section of the Hebrew Bible. As a given name in English-speaking countries, Navi is recent and mostly feminine, helped by compact -i names, the fairy Navi in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and actress Navlata Navi Rawat. It is also sometimes confused with Navy or the fictional Na’vi.
