Behind the name: 'Kavya'



How would you feel, if you found out that your name is actually a name for a guy? I was bored, and procrastinating when I decided to 'Google' my name. I found out some new things.

So, the classical name Kavya means a sonnet or poem in Sanskrit which is the meaning I've been telling people my whole life. Apparently, Kavya also means intelligence, wise, happiness and it is a Sanskrit literary composition.

Kavya (or Kāvya; Sanskrit: काव्य, IAST: kāvyá) also refers to the Sanskrit literary style used by Indian court poets flourishing from the first half of the seventh century AD. This literary style is characterised by abundant usage of figures of speech, metaphors, similes, and hyperbole to create its emotional effects.
The result is a short lyrical work, court epic, narrative or dramatic work. "Kavya" can refer to the style or the completed body of literature.

Asvaghosa (c. 80-150 AD), a philosopher and poet considered the father of Sanskrit drama, is attributed with first using the word.

According to Mahabharat, a Kavya was a SON of Kavi Prajapati???!!???

Like what even, Mom & Dad?

According to an internet source, users of the name Kavya are Emotional , Successful in Business , Trustworthy , Fearless , Insightful , Vivacious , Sensitive , Innovative and Protective.
 Hmm. I guess to an extent that is pretty accurate.
 It also makes me feel great about the fact that I have business as a subject.
