Bijal meaning
Bijal (बिजल) is a Hindu girl's name of Gujarati origin (from Sanskrit).
Lightning (Hindi bijlī, bijulī, from Sanskrit vidyut)
Bijal (बिजल, Gujarati બિજલ) is a Gujarati girls' name meaning lightning. It is related to the Hindi word bijlī or bijulī, which Platts' dictionary gives as "lightning; thunderbolt" and traces to Sanskrit vidyut, "flashing, lightning". Platts does not list the short form bijal itself, but baby-name lists consistently give it as "lightning", and the link to bijlī is clear. It is used mainly in Gujarati families, one of a group of Gujarati girls' names ending in -al, like Tejal and Komal.
