Kravis

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: American

Meaning: From Courtenay; To cross

A brand new name on the scene, Kravis is an American combination of names Kourtney and Travis. These predecessor names mean "from Courtenay" and "to cross," respectively. Taking French qualities to heart, Kravis's connection to Courtenay—a French commune in the Center region in the Loire Valley—gives it a unique origin story. But the other half of Kravis's short history includes the tales of a traverser. With the definition "to cross"—again coming from French roots—this name is full of adventure. While the European combo at the core gives Kravis some French guidance, this name is a fresh and fully American canvas, ready to be painted on with baby's brand new story.
