Manal meaning
Manal (منال) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
Attainment, obtaining; what one reaches or achieves
Also used to mean: achievement
Manal (منال) is the Arabic manāl, one of the verbal nouns of nāla, "to obtain, to attain". Lane's lexicon lists manāl with nāl and manāla as nouns of nāla, and explains the verb as obtaining or reaching something, such as the object of one's wish; related words mean a gift or favour received. Name lists give Manal as "achievement" or "attainment", in line with the dictionary. The name is used across the Arab world and by Muslim families in India, often spelled Manaal.
