Reva

Reva is an ancient name for the Narmada River in India, giving the name both a geographical identity and a place in Hindu sacred tradition. The river is important in religious literature and pilgrimage, so choosing Reva can carry a connection with a living landscape as well as with stories and practices surrounding it.

The short form makes that substantial background easy to carry into everyday use. Rather than requiring a separate poetic translation, the river itself supplies the name’s clearest meaning and context. For a family connected with the Narmada region or its religious traditions, Reva can be a particularly specific heritage choice, while its natural association remains accessible to someone first encountering the name.
