Abhinav: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2006.
Abhinav is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "new" or "young," often associated with freshness and originality. It is a popular first name in India and among the Indian diaspora, and has been recorded in Scottish birth registers since the late 20th century. The most globally recognised bearer is Abhinav Bindra, the Indian Olympic shooter who won India's first individual gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, and another notable figure is Abhinav Shukla, an Indian television actor. While no major places share the exact name, the root *nava* (new) appears in many Indian place names and languages. A notable variant is Abhijit, which carries a different meaning ("victorious"), and the name has gained quiet but steady popularity in multicultural Scotland.
