ravis

Ravis is a personal name used as a given name and, less commonly, as a surname. It is often cited as a variant or transcription of Ravi, a name of Sanskrit origin that commonly means sun. The form Ravis can arise through transliteration practices or as a patronymic suffix in some languages, though its usage and meaning may vary by region and family tradition.

In the Indian subcontinent and among South Asian diaspora communities, Ravi is a common masculine given name; Ravis can appear as an alternate spelling in records and casual usage. As a surname, Ravis is less common but can occur in families that adopt Sanskrit-derived given names as surnames or in transliterated forms from local languages.

There are no widely recognized individuals whose primary public name is exactly "Ravis" according to major reference sources. The spelling more often appears as Ravi or Ravish in public records. Individuals with the surname or given name may exist but are not broadly documented in standard encyclopedic references.
