What is the meaning of the name Navish ?

Navish is in Origin.

Navish blends South Asian Sanskritic roots: nav- (“new, fresh”) with -īś (“lord, ruler”), yielding senses like “lord of renewal,” “master of the new,” or more broadly “innovative.” In Urdu–Persian contexts, the similar element -navīs/-nevis means “writer, scribe,” so some families interpret Navish as “scribe” or “storyteller,” though this is a parallel etymology rather than the same word.

As a given name, Navish appears mainly in contemporary India and the diaspora from the late 20th century onward, used across Hindu and Sikh communities and occasionally as a unisex choice. Spellings and close variants include Naveesh, Navīsh, Nivish, and the near‑cognate Nivesh (from Sanskrit nivesha, “settlement; investment”), sometimes conflated in modern usage. Related -ish names such as Manish and Harish show the same īś element. Short forms include Navi and Vish, and the name pairs well with virtue or nature middles.
