Ravivar

Ravivar is a term used in several Indo-Aryan languages to denote Sunday, the seventh day of the week. In Marathi and Konkani, the form Ravivar (often spelled Ravivār) is common, and Hindi transliteration also appears as Ravivar or Ravivaar. The word is derived from Ravi, meaning the sun, combined with a day-denoting element, linking the day to the Sun in cultural calendars and religious traditions.

As a given name, Ravivar is used in parts of India and Nepal, reflecting the sun-derived motif that appears in regional naming practices. It is generally masculine and is less commonly found as a surname.

In cultural contexts, Ravivar marks Sunday in calendars and daily life. The day is traditionally associated with Surya, the sun god, and may involve particular rituals, rest, or family observances in various communities. The term also appears in literature and media as a proper noun or character name in some regions, reflecting its cultural resonance with the sun and the weekly cycle.
