Mehul meaning
Mehul (मेहुल) is a Hindu boy's name of Gujarati origin (from Sanskrit megha via Prakrit meha). By its first sound, मे, it is a Simha rashi name (Magha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Rain, a rain cloud (from meh, 'rain')
Mehul (मेहुल) is a Gujarati name built on meh, "rain". The word goes back through Prakrit meho to Sanskrit megha, "a cloud", and Platts records the Hindi form meṅh as rain or a shower with exactly that history; Monier-Williams gives megha as a cloud from the Rig Veda onwards. Name lists give the meaning as "rain" or "cloud", which fits the root, though Mehul itself is not in the dictionaries we checked. The name is used mainly by Gujarati families.
