Dear sir,

I have heard this name before a couple of times.
Actually sometimes I wonder why we spell Hindu names with the letter W when there is actually no W in our scripts.

Ritvik ऋत्विक् which is from the original word Ritvij (ऋत्विज्) should be spelled with a V and not a W.. I feel.

Even many other names for example Aishwarya is spelt with a W instead of Aishvarya.
I wonder how W got into the spelling of names???
