What does Arnav mean?

Arnav is a nature-themed choice rooted in Sanskrit arṇava. The dictionary records sea and ocean among the word's senses. The imagery offers a useful comparison with Ravi's sun and Dhruv's sense of steadiness.

अर्णव is written Arnav here. The scholarly form arṇava marks the retroflex ṇ and includes the Sanskrit final vowel; ordinary English spelling leaves those distinctions unmarked.
