What Does the Name Advait Mean?
Advait is a masculine given name from Sanskrit meaning "not two" or "non-dual." It is built from the prefix a- ("not") attached to dvaita ("twofold," "duality"), which comes from dvi, the Sanskrit word for "two." The literal sense is "without a second" - that is, single, undivided, or unique. The name is the philosophical term advaita with its final -a dropped. In Indian thought the term labels the non-dualist position that the individual self and ultimate reality are not two separate things; the name carries that literal sense rather than a separate symbolic one.
Advait Name History & Origins
The word advaita belongs to Sanskrit religious and philosophical vocabulary. It names the non-dualist school of Vedanta, whose best-known exponent is Adi Shankara, traditionally placed in the eighth century. In that tradition advaita describes the identity of the individual self (ātman) with ultimate reality (brahman).
As a personal name, Advait is used mainly in India and among Indian communities abroad, generally by Hindus. The short form Advait, without the final vowel, exists alongside the fuller Advaita, which is also used as a name and is more often feminine; the spelling Adwait also appears in English. Its use rests on the philosophical term rather than on the biography of a particular figure.
