Has anybody ever heard the name Navin (Naven)? My husband is in love with it (for a boy or a GIRL) but I can't find it in any of my books or on the Internet. I think he made it up. What do you think of the name?

I have known a Navin before (male) he was from India. It is a fairly common male name in India I think.

I have heard of Nevan which is an Irish name, I saw it in a baby name book I borrowd from the library a while back, cant remember what it means though.

I saw on the today show last week that a new name is Nevaeh (Na-vaya) which is heaven spelled backwords. I though it was pretty. The name Navin just reminded me of that.

My cousin-in-law's husband is Navin. I asked him about it once and he said it was his mother's maiden name.

I've heard of Nevin (Male) but never Navin - but hey, in this day and age, just about anything goes.

I don't think I'd like it for a girl though.

good luck

No, I haven't heard of it, though I heard of a name for a girl pronounced: Na-VEEN (not sure of the spelling). She is Egyptian. *shrugs*


Navin (NAY-vin) kind of reminds me of the male name Nathan.


I would only use it for a girl using the Na-VEEN pronunciation.


Best of luck to you!

Naven was the name of Steve Martin's character in The Jerk (from late 70s, early 80s). The movie is FUNNY, but it doesn't do anything good for the name Naven!

Good luck!
