Manvir: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1991.
Manvir is a modern Punjabi name, formed from the Sanskrit elements 'man' (mind) and 'vir' (brave or hero), together meaning "brave in mind" or "hero of the mind." It is a compound name popular among Sikh and Hindu families. One of the earliest and most prominent bearers in Scotland is Manvir Minhas, a Canadian-Scottish actress known for her role in the BBC soap opera River City. The name does not have a direct place connection to Scotland, but the root 'vir' appears in many Indian place names, such as Virpur in Gujarat. A further note: Manvir is sometimes spelled with a double 'n' (Mannvir) or as Manveer, though the 'e' spelling is less common in Scotland. Its rising popularity among Scottish South Asian families reflects the broader multicultural tapestry of modern Scottish baby names.
