Navin is an Indian-origin given name derived from the Sanskrit word 'Navina', meaning 'new' or 'fresh'. It is associated with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, embodying prosperity and good fortune. Popularized by Lala Lajpat Rai in 1924, Navin has become a distinctive yet meaningful choice for parents worldwide, symbolizing new beginnings despite its relative rarity compared to traditional Indian names like Raj or Priya. Typically used as a boys' name, it can also be unisex and is often spelled differently based on region or language.
