Madhvani Family History

Madhvani Surname Meaning

The Hindu (Lohana) name is composed of Madhv-, which appears to be a reduction of an ancestral name such as Mādhav.

Mādhav is an epithet of the Hindu god Krishna, which adds a significant cultural and religious context to the name.

The suffix -ani is an adjectival suffix that denotes derivation from a particular lineage.

Essentially, the name signifies a ‘descendant of’ the ancestral figure associated with the name Mādhav.

This combination reflects the importance of ancestry and divine connection within Hindu naming traditions.
