Arvind is a common male name in India and Pakistan which means lotus in Sanskrit.

The great seer Sri Aurobindo would in effect be called "Shree Arvind" in north and west India. It also means sun in Hindi. According to myth, only the cleverest and most bright child gets the name 'Arvind'. The blessing hand of Rama is described as "Arvind Dhalaya Daksham" in Shlokas about Lord Rama.
