Ritvi is a modern Indian given name of Sanskrit origin, derived from rtvij/rtvika, the Vedic term for a priest(ess) who conducts sacrifices at the proper season (rtu). The underlying roots combine rtu “season, right time” with yaj “to worship/sacrifice,” yielding the sense of “ritual officiant” or “one who performs rites in due order.” In contemporary naming it conveys connotations of spiritual learning, discipline, and right timing; some also connect it to rta, “cosmic order/truth,” broadening the meaning to “aligned with truth.”

As a personal name, Ritvi came into wider use in late-20th-century India and the diaspora, and is used mainly for girls, though it can be unisex. Variants and related forms include Rithvi, Ritvee, Ritvika/Rithvika (feminine), and Ritvik/Rithvik (masculine). Pronounced RIT-vee, it works across many Indian languages and scripts.
