Simple Meaning:
From *havis* (sacred oblation, the offering made in Vedic fire rituals); "He Who Is the Sacred Offering Itself" - all sacred offerings made in all rituals throughout all of time are ultimately Him being offered to Himself in an eternal act of divine self-love and self-knowledge.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation<br> *Havis* is the sacred oblation or offering (*ghee*, grains, etc.) poured into the sacrificial fire. Vishnu as Havih is simultaneously the fire (*agni*), the oblation (*havis*), the act of offering, and the one to whom it is offered. He is the complete sacrificial process in Himself. **Spiritual Interpretation<br> The Bhagavad Gita (4.24) is the definitive statement of this name: *"Brahmaarpana, Brahma havir, Brahmaagnau, Brahmanahutam — Brahmaiva tena gantavyam, Brahmakarma samaadhinaa"* — "The offering is Brahman, the oblation is Brahman, poured by Brahman into the fire that is Brahman; Brahman alone is reached by one who is absorbed in Brahman-action." Vishnu as Havih means that the entire sacrificial cosmos is the Lord offering Himself to Himself — an act of divine self-contemplation that sustains all existence. **Puranic Reference<br> The Shatapatha Brahmana extensively describes the cosmic sacrifice (*Yajña*) as the act by which the universe is sustained. The Vishnu Purana identifies this cosmic Yajña with Vishnu — making Vishnu both the fire of creation (*Agni*) and the offering (*Havis*) that feeds it. Vishnu's name *Yajña* (name 33 in the Sahasranama) directly connects with this.
