Apoorva (given name)
Apurv or Apurva is the common English spelling of two related Indian given names: the feminine अपूर्वा apūrvā and the masculine अपूर्व apūrva. The masculine name is often spelled Apurv or Apoorv, as in many modern Indo-Aryan languages it is pronounced without the vowel at the end, for example in Hindi: [ɐpuːrv]. The feminine name is spelled Apurva or Apoorva and is pronounced with the vowel at the end. In Sanskrit apūrva and apūrvā are respectively the masculine and feminine forms of the adjective meaning 'unprecedented', 'like none other', 'like never before', 'new', 'never seen before', 'one of a kind', 'rare', 'unique', 'exquisite', 'extraordinary'.[1]
