Maadhav is an Indian given name of Sanskrit origin, derived from 'Maha' meaning 'great' and 'Dhav' meaning 'to run'. It's often associated with Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu in Hindu mythology, who is believed to have crossed the river Yamuna in a single stride, demonstrating his swiftness. In some regions, Maadhav is also used as a surname.
"The name Maadhav saw an equal number of births each year with a gap of four years between the first and last recorded birth."
