Garvy Origin and Meaning

The name Garvy is a boy's name.

Garvy is an uncommon masculine name with possible origins as a variant of Garvey, which has Irish Gaelic roots in the surname Ó Gairbhith, meaning 'descendant of Gairbhith' (rough peace). It may also derive from the French name Gervais, ultimately stemming from the Germanic element 'ger' meaning 'spear.' Rarely appearing in popularity charts, Garvy maintains an air of distinctiveness and individuality. The name's scarcity gives it a unique quality that appeals to parents seeking something outside mainstream choices. With its short, punchy sound and interesting history, Garvy offers a rare alternative to more common Gary or Harvey while maintaining a similar phonetic appeal.
