This beautiful girl name is a popular choice in India. It is connected to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of luck and prosperity. Lakshmi is composed of the elements sā, referring to Lakshmi, and anvi, meaning "follow."

One of the dozens of names used for Lakshmi, Hindu goddess of beauty, wealth and prosperity, Sanvika first popped up on the extended version of the Social Security Administration's name popularity list in 2011, with eight baby girls named it that year, and it's grown modestly since then, along with many other names from the Indian subcontinent.
