Nikhil

Nikhil is a word in Hindi and Sanskrit that means "All", "Entire", "Complete", or "Whole" as in the Universe. Sanskrit fragmentation of the word yields: Ni (without) + Kh (sky or boundary) + L (agreed or liked) . It is also a popular male name amongst Hindus. Akhil is a similar-sounding synonym of Nikhil in Hindi and Sanskrit.
