Meaning and history
Pravin is an Indian masculine name from Sanskrit pravīṇa, meaning “skilled,” “proficient,” “expert,” or “accomplished.” It is used across several Indian languages, with Praveen and Pravine as alternative transliterations. The name describes ability rather than membership in a profession or caste. Notable bearers include South African politician Pravin Gordhan and Indian cricketer Pravin Tambe. Regional scripts provide a more precise indication of pronunciation than the Latin spelling alone.
In 2016, 6 babies were recorded with the name Pravin, ranking #10,744 among boys.
