The name Ranvir has a rich history in India. It is often associated with royalty and has been used by several members of the Indian nobility throughout generations. One notable figure was Maharaja Ranjit Singh, also known as Ranvir Singh, who ruled the Sikh Empire in the early 19th century.
In Hindu mythology, Ranvir is also one of the names attributed to Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This further adds to the significance and respect associated with this name.
