What is the meaning of the name Tanvhi ?

Tanvhi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Tanvhi is a modern Indian feminine name, most often treated as a creative respelling of Tanvi. It traces back to Sanskrit tanvī (तन्वी), the feminine of tanu, meaning slender, delicate, or fine-bodied; in classical poetry the word praises a woman's graceful form and appears as an epithet of goddesses such as Parvati/Durga. The name therefore carries associations of elegance, youthfulness, and gentle strength.

As a given name, Tanvi is widely used in contemporary India and among the South Asian diaspora; Tanvhi is a contemporary variant that appears in similar circles, especially in Hindi- and Marathi-speaking communities. The inserted h in Tanvhi does not change the usual pronunciation but lends distinctiveness in English spelling. Common variants and near-equivalents include Tanvi (standard), Tanvee and Tanvie; Tanu functions as a familiar nickname. Related Sanskrit-root names of the same semantic family include Tanuja (“born of the body”) and Tanaya (“child”).
