Athulya meaning
Athulya (अतुल्या) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (South Indian usage). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Unequalled
Athulya (अतुल्या) is the feminine of Sanskrit atulya, "unequalled", from a-, "not", and tulya, "equal, comparable", a word that comes from tulā, the weighing balance: something atulya cannot be weighed against anything else. The spelling with th reflects the soft dental t as it is usually written in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where the name is mainly used. In North India it is spelt Atulya and is given to boys as well. Name lists give it as incomparable or matchless. The Tamil actress Athulya Ravi is a well-known bearer.
