Sharvil is a name of Indian origin, specifically from the region of Gujarat in western India. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word "Sharva", which means "the abode of Shiva". In Hindu mythology, Shiva is one of the principal deities and is known as the Destroyer or Transformer.
The name Sharvil is believed to have been popularized during the medieval period in Gujarat by the region's ruling dynasty, the Solankis. The Solankis were followers of Shaivism, a sect of Hinduism devoted to the worship of Shiva. As a result, many members of the dynasty bore names related to Shiva, including Sharvil.
Over time, the name Sharvil has spread beyond Gujarat and is now found throughout India and in Indian communities around the world. Despite its popularity, however, it remains relatively uncommon compared to other Indian names like Raj or Priya.
