In Hindu philosophy, it can relate to the concept of completeness or universality. Nikhil has maintained steady popularity in India and has gained increased recognition globally in recent decades. It's appreciated for its pleasant sound, meaningful etymology, and ease of pronunciation across different languages. The name is often associated with intelligence, perfection, and wholeness, making it a thoughtful choice for parents seeking a name with positive connotations and cultural significance.
