Slovene invented name, meaning unknown

Nal Origin and Meaning

The name Nal is a boy's name of Slovene origin.

A Slovene choice that periodically appears at the bottom of Slovenia's Top 100. It first appeared on the Slovenian charts in 2011, when parents started using Nal for its on-trend sounds. However, Nal has no etymological roots in Slovene.

Based on other Slovenian choices such as Tai, Maj, Maks, and Lan, it is likely Nal emerged as a diminutive form, possibly of Nikola or Nikolaj ("people of victory"), Nathaniel ("gift of God"), Arnold ("eagle power"), Kornel ("horn"), or Manuel ("God is with us", or as a masculine form of Natalja ("born at Christmas"). This however is all conjecture.

Another possible source is from the Sanskrit Nala or Kunala, meaning "stem" and "lotus" respectively.
