Harshal meaning
Harshal (हर्षल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Meaning today
Joyful, happy
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Harshal (हर्षल) is a Marathi and Gujarati boy's name that the classical dictionaries do not record. Its first part is plainly Sanskrit harṣa, which Monier-Williams gives as joy, pleasure and happiness, from a verb for the thrill of delight. Name lists therefore read Harshal as "joyful" or "happy", and that is how families use it. The ending -al has no dictionary entry for this word, so we show the root rather than a confirmed meaning for the whole name. Harsh, Harsha and Harshad come from the same root.
