Nikhil

Nikhil is a Sanskrit, Marathi and Hindi word that means "complete man" or "universal".

Breaking the word down to Sanskrit roots shows:

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.
