What Does the Name Dhanvin Mean?
Dhanvin is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin meaning "archer" or "bowman."

The literal sense is "possessing a bow" or "armed with a bow"; the customary meaning is "archer." In Sanskrit usage, dhanvin describes a bow-armed warrior and is also listed as an epithet of Shiva.
