Nikhil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikhil is a Hindi and Sanskrit word that means "complete" or "universal". Sanskrit fragmentation of the word yields: Ni (without) + Kh (sky or boundary) + L (agreed or liked). It also has connotations with the colour blue, possibly because of the word "sky" being one of its roots. It is a commonly used name for males among Hindus. The name is frequently mispronounced by English-speakers as "nick-HEEL" when in fact the correct pronunciation is "NI-KHIL,". Notable people named Nikhil:
- Nikhil Advani, a Bollywood film director
- Nikhil Banerjee, a famous sitar player
- Nikhil Chopra, a former Indian cricketer
- Nikhil Dhurandhar, a prominent medical researcher
- Nikhil Kanetkar, an Olympic badminton player
- Nikhil Kothari, a software architect at Microsoft
- Nikhil Nanda, Industrialist and son-in-law of Amitabh Bachchan
- Nikhil Siddharth, Actor in Tollywood, India
