Nanalal Dalpatram Kavi (16 March 1877 – 9 January 1946) was an Indian writer and poet in Gujarati language.[1] of Gujarati literature. His name is sometimes spelled as Nhanalal. Nanalal was born on 16 March 1877 in Ahmedabad as the fourth son of Dalpatram, who settled there since 1848 after migrating from Wadhwan. Dalpatram was popular and admired as poet that his ancestral surname Tarvadi (Trivedi) was gradually dropped and he came to be generally known as Kavi (poet). Nanalal and his descendants then adopted permanently Kavi as their surname --------------------------------- ન્હાનાલાલ જાણીતા ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યકાર હતા. તેઓ અપદ્યાગદ્ય (અછાંદસ) કે ડોલનશૈલીનાં જનક હતા. કવિ ન્હાનાલાલના પિતા દલપતરામ ડાહ્યાભાઈ નર્મદ યુગના મહાન કવિ હતા. તેઓ ગુજરાતના મહાકવિ કહેવાય છે.
