Pavati is in Origin.

Pavati is a modern given name commonly attributed to the Hopi language (Uto-Aztecan) and glossed as "clear water" or "purified water." While many baby-name sources repeat this meaning, attested Hopi records for the exact form are scarce, and some scholars view it as a recent coinage inspired by Hopi elements associated with water. The imagery evokes clarity, purity, and the life-giving flow of springs in the American Southwest.

Usage in the United States grows modestly from the late 20th century, largely outside Native communities, and it remains rare and predominantly feminine. Documented as a first name rather than a traditional Hopi personal name, it appears in nature-themed and modern English-language naming styles. Reported variants and spellings include Pawati and Pavaty; nicknames such as Pava or Vati occur in informal use. Note the frequent confusion with Parvati, the Sanskrit goddess name, which is etymologically unrelated.
