Soul or as precious as one's life
Jaanvi is a modern Hindi name derived from the Sanskrit word 'Jaan', which refers to life or the soul. It is often used as a term of endearment to signify someone who is as vital as life itself. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Ganga River, though 'Janhvi' is the more traditional spelling for that specific mythological connection.
