Avichal meaning
Avichal (अविचल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Immovable, steady, firm
Avichal (अविचल) is Sanskrit avicala, formed from a-, "not", and vicala, "moving, wavering", from the verb cal, "to move". Monier-Williams gives immovable, steady and firm, with examples from the Mahābhārata and the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa. In Hindi the word is still used for a steady mind or an unshakeable resolve. Baby-name lists give the name as "steady" or "immovable", matching the dictionary. It belongs with Achal, "immovable", a name built on the same root.
