Chimanlal meaning
Chimanlal (चिमनलाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Persian and Hindi origin (Gujarati usage).
Chaman 'flower garden' + Hindi lāl 'darling, son'
Chimanlal (चिमनलाल, Gujarati ચીમનલાલ) is the Gujarati form of the name known in North India as Chamanlal. Its first part is the Persian word chaman, which Platts gives as a flower-bed or flower-garden, a blooming and flourishing place, and Steingass as an orchard or green meadow. Lāl is the Hindi word for a darling or a little son, found at the end of older names. Name lists give the meaning simply as "garden". Chimanlal, also Chimanbhai, is a Gujarati name; Chimanbhai Patel, chief minister of Gujarat, is a well-known bearer of the short form.
