Never as popular as Florence; today's parents might prefer Venezia, Verona, or Romy. It is also a Hindu name meaning "one with shiny hair" and is another name for the goddess Lakshmi.

Tejal is a feminine name of Indian origin, primarily used in Hindu communities. Derived from Sanskrit, the name means 'luster,' 'radiance,' or 'brightness,' often associated with the sparkling quality of light on water. In some interpretations, it can also refer to the anklet worn by Indian women. The name is popular throughout India, particularly in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Tejal has gained some recognition internationally through global migration but remains relatively uncommon outside South Asian communities. The name's meaning conveys beauty and brilliance, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name with positive connotations. With its straightforward two-syllable structure (pronounced tay-jal), the name is relatively accessible for non-Indian speakers while maintaining its authentic cultural roots.
