Jai, Maulvi is spelt in many different ways in different countries. In Iran the transliteration is often Molavi (it's pronounced differently as well). Other variations include Maulwi, Mawlvi, Maulawi, etc. Apparently it means "our guide, or master, or lord" in Arabic and Persian. Maulana and Maulvi are two different forms of the same word.

("Maulava" is the Russian for a horny woman.)
