Shiv usually stands for various names of people ranging from religion to normal, everyday people.

The name Shiv is usually derived from a Hindu name signifying the Hindu God Shiva. The name is normally used in India, Sri Lanka and other Asian states where Hinduism is practiced.

The name can also be a short form for much longer names such as Shivantha, Shiivantha (with two "ii"), Shivanthi, Shevantha, etc. which is usually found in the island of Sri Lanka.

It portrays power, fame, nobility, and has religious significance to the Hindu God "Shiva".
