Charvis is a name of African origin, derived from the Hausa people of Nigeria and Niger. It means "strong" or "courageous". The name has been used traditionally among the Hausa people for centuries.
The Hausa people are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, and their culture and traditions have influenced the naming practices of other African communities as well. As such, Charvis is not exclusive to the Hausa but can be found among other African nations too.
Historically, the name Charvis has been passed down through generations within families, often given to boys considered strong or brave. It's a unisex name, meaning it can be used for both males and females, although its usage is more common for males.
In some cultures, names are believed to have the power to influence an individual's personality and destiny. In this context, naming a child Charvis might be seen as wishing them strength and courage throughout their life.
Today, Charvis continues to be used in many African communities and beyond. Despite its ancient origins, it remains a unique and distinctive name that stands out from more commonly used names.
The name Charvis seems to have been moderately popular between the years 1972 and 2012, with a total of 179 babies being named Charvis during this period. The most common years for naming a child Charvis were in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with peaks in 1984, 1985, and 1989, when more than eight children per year were named Charvis. However, there is no clear trend or pattern of increasing or decreasing popularity over time; instead, the number of births appears to fluctuate somewhat randomly from year to year.
