The story of Advait
Advaita Vedanta holds that the individual self and the ultimate reality are not two things but one, and the word says exactly that — not-two. Shankara systematised it in the eighth century, and it remains among the most influential positions in Indian philosophy. Advait is a modern given name and is in current American use.
Meaning
non-dual, not two
From the Sanskrit advaita — a, 'not', and dvaita, 'dual' — the technical term for the non-dualist school of Vedanta associated with Shankara. The word is classical Sanskrit and the philosophical use documented. The reading is undisputed.
