Sivasvati

Sivasvati, also sometimes rendered as Shivashvati or related variations depending on transliteration, is a relatively uncommon female given name with roots in India. It is derived from Sanskrit. The name is generally understood to be associated with, or be a derivative of, Shiva, a major deity in Hinduism, and embodies feminine qualities and devotion. The latter portion of the name, "-vati," is a common feminine suffix in Sanskrit, often denoting possession or association. Thus, Sivasvati can be interpreted as "she who belongs to Shiva," "possessing qualities of Shiva," or "devoted to Shiva." The name may also connote auspiciousness, power, and grace. Usage and spelling variations may differ regionally.
