Jhilik meaning
Jhilik (ঝিলিক) is a Hindu girl's name of Bengali origin.
A sudden but soft flash of light
Jhilik (ঝিলিক) is an everyday Bengali word for a quick, gentle flash of light. The Samsad Bengali–English Dictionary defines it as a sudden but mild or light flash, and the phrase ঝিলিক দেওয়া means to give off such a flash. It is a word of Bengali itself rather than a Sanskrit borrowing, which is why we show the name in Bengali script. Bengali families use Jhilik both as a girl's given name and as a ḍāk nām, the pet name used at home, and it is heard in Bangladesh as well as in West Bengal. Other names on our site with a sense of light include Dyuti, Rashmi and Chandrima.
