This article is about the name. for the computer scientist, see Arvind (computer scientist).

Arvind is a common male name in India and Pakistan which means lotus in Sanskrit. In Southern India, Arvind is often written (and pronounced) as Aravind or Arvindh, and in Bengal, it becomes Aurobindo. The great seer Sri Aurobindo would in effect be called "Shree Arvind" in north and west India. It also means 'Sun' in Hindi.

Every word in Devnagri could be dissect into two or three pieces and it is called as Sandhi-Viched. If we dissect Arvind It would be Arav (Araav) + Ind (Indu). Araav means "top of something" (e.g. The Aravalli Range literally meaning "line of peaks", is a range of mountains in western India.) and Indu means Moon therefor another meaning is "The one who has Moon on his top (Template:Lang-hi जिनके शीर्ष पर चंद्रमा विधमान हो)" means Lord Shiva.

According to myth, only the cleverest and most bright child gets the name 'Arvind'. The blessing hand of Rama is described as "Arvind Dhalaya Daksham" in Shlokas about Lord Rama. Some believe that 'Arvind' means red lotus in particular, on which the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity-Lakshmi sits. Many religions including Christianity, Sikhism, and Islam use this for naming their babies.

Arvind is also believed to be the name for a minor god, Aravinda, one of a number of gods that peopled the court of Indra the ancient Indian god of thunder, said to be king of the gods. Other gods of Indra's court include Vayu - the god of wind and Agni - the god of fire.

It is believed that Aravinda was the god of wit, intelligence and shrewd scholarship, before the arrival of the trinity - Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma in Hindu religion. Some stories say Aravinda often visited earth in his avatar form, testing and rewarding men for their wit.
