Nikhil is a Sanskrit, Marathi and Hindi word that means "complete man" or "universal".
Breaking the word down to Sanskrit roots shows[citation needed]:
- Ni (without)
- Kh (sky or boundary)
- L (agreed or liked)
The word also has connotations with the color blue, possibly because of the word "sky" being one of its roots. It is a commonly used name for males among Hindus.
