The Story of Janvika
Janvika is a Sanskrit-rooted name combining jan (जन, meaning to be born, people, or life) with the suffix -vika, which may derive from vica meaning little or beloved. Together the name carries the meaning of one born to live fully or beloved daughter of the people. The root jan is one of Sanskrit's most fundamental words, giving rise to names like Janaki (Sita, daughter of King Janak) and concepts like janma (birth) throughout Indian culture.
