We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Kumail (کمیل) is the Arabic name Kumayl. It is built on the root k-m-l, which Lane's lexicon explains through kamala, "to be perfect", and kāmil, "consummate, perfect". The form kumayl follows an Arabic pattern often used for diminutives, but we could not find it as a word in Lane or Platts, so we have not given it a dictionary meaning. Name lists usually render it "perfect" or "complete". The name is best known from Kumayl ibn Ziyad, a companion of Ali who transmitted the prayer known as Dua Kumayl.
