revA

Reva is a term that can refer to different things, including a given name, a place name, and a brand used in the automotive and technology sectors. In contemporary usage, it is most widely recognized as the name of an early Indian electric vehicle company, but the word also appears in personal and geographic contexts.

The REVA Electric Car Company was founded in Bangalore, India, by Chetan Maini. The company produced the REVAi electric car, which was launched in the early 2000s and marketed in some markets as the G-Wiz in the United Kingdom. In 2010, the company was acquired by the Mahindra Group and reorganized under Mahindra Electric Mobility, with later electric vehicles such as the Mahindra e2o lineage continuing the REVA legacy in India and abroad.

Reva is also used as a feminine given name in various languages and cultures. As with many given names, its meaning and origin vary by region, and it appears in literature, media, and everyday usage.

Beyond people and cars, Reva occurs as a toponym in different places and can function as an acronym in various organizational names or projects. The diversity of uses reflects its versatility across languages and sectors.
