What is the meaning of the name Revana ?

The baby name Revana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced reh-VAH-nah (IPA: /rɛˈvɑːnə/).

Revana is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Revana is a rare feminine given name with several plausible roots. Most commonly it’s seen as an elaboration of Reva, the Sanskrit Reva, an epithet of the Narmada River; by that route it evokes water, movement, and auspicious pilgrimage. In South India, Revana also echoes the name of the medieval saint Revansiddha/Revana Siddeshwara, giving it a devotional flavor. In English contexts, Revana may be a streamlined variant of Ravenna, the Italian city name.

Meaning varies by derivation: “river; swift one” via Reva; “from Ravenna” in the Italian reading. Documented usage is modern and infrequent, appearing in India and among the diaspora since the late 20th century and in Western baby‑name circles as a distinctive‑but‑familiar choice.
