Mridula meaning
Mridula (मृदुला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Soft, tender, mild
Also used to mean: gentle
Mridula (मृदुला) is the feminine of Sanskrit mṛdula, which Monier-Williams gives as soft, tender and mild, citing classical poetry and the Bhagavata Purana. It is built on mṛdu, "soft, gentle", the root of Mridul and of the Hindi word mṛdu, used for a soft voice or a gentle nature. Name lists give soft, tender or gentle, matching the dictionary. The name is used across India; Mrudula is the spelling used in Maharashtra and the South. The Hindi novelist Mridula Garg is a well-known bearer.
