Amol meaning
Amol (अमोल) is a Hindu boy's name of Hindi and Marathi origin (from Sanskrit amūlya). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Priceless, invaluable; rare and precious
Amol (अमोल) is a Hindi and Marathi word meaning priceless. Platts' Hindustani dictionary gives it as priceless or invaluable, very rare or precious, and also superb or lovely, and derives it from Sanskrit a-, "without", and mūlya, "price". The Sanskrit form amūlya, "invaluable", appears in Monier-Williams. The near twin Anmol comes from the same idea with a different prefix. Name lists give Amol as "priceless" or "invaluable", matching the dictionaries; other glosses such as "everlasting" or "hope" are not dictionary senses. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra.
