Kovid

Hindi, English
"scholar, wise; coronavirus"

Kovid Origin and Meaning

The name Kovid is a boy's name meaning "scholar, wise; coronavirus".

In India, Kovid is a rare but established name, coming from the Hindi for "wise, learned, scholar". Post-pandemic, it unfortunately calls to mind the coronavirus, but that didn't deter the seven sets of American parents who named their pandemic sons Kovid in 2020. Covid, the actual spelling of the disease, was unranked.
