From the Sanskrit अवनि (avani), 'the earth, ground, a river-bed'. A genuine Vedic/classical word for the earth.
A recent given name derived from Sanskrit advitiya / advaita, 'unique, matchless, without a second'. The root is genuine Sanskrit, but the name itself is a modern coinage, appearing in records only in the 2000s.
Avni and Advika are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Avni means The earth (sanskrit origin), while Advika means unique, without a second (sanskrit origin).
In US records, Avni first appears in 0 and Advika in 0, so Avni has the longer recorded history.
