Prathiv

Origin

Sanskrit origin, derived from the root 'prathiv' meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. While not a common name in contemporary Australian usage, it has roots in ancient Indian texts and Sanskrit language, which was historically influential through migration and cultural exchange. There are no recorded mentions in Australian indigenous or colonial texts, and it remains a rare anthroponym in Australian contexts.
