Jinal meaning
Jinal (जिनल) is a Jain and Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit root origin (Gujarati and Jain usage).
From jina, victorious; a Jain spiritual victor
Jinal (જિનલ) is a modern Gujarati girls' name built on the Sanskrit word jina, from the root ji, "to conquer". Monier-Williams defines jina as victorious, and as a noun as a Buddha or an Arhat, a chief saint of the Jainas. In Jainism a Jina is one who has conquered inner passions, and the religion takes its name from the Jinas, the twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras. The -al ending is a gentle Gujarati name pattern also heard in Hetal and Kinjal. The name is used mainly by Gujarati Jain families and also by Gujarati Hindus.
