Ocean or sea
Derived from the ancient Sanskrit word 'Arnavah', this name symbolizes the vastness and depth of the ocean. In Hindu mythology and literature, it is often used to represent the sea or a stream, suggesting a calm yet powerful nature. It remains a popular choice in India and among the global diaspora for its poetic and natural resonance.
