Mugil meaning
Mugil (முகில்) is a Tamil unisex name, used for both girls and boys.
Cloud
Mugil (முகில்) is the Tamil word mukil, a cloud. The Tamil Lexicon of the University of Madras gives the cloud as its main sense, adds the sense of a gathered mass, and notes Telugu mogulu and Kannada mugil as related words in sister Dravidian languages. Name lists give Mugil simply as "cloud", the same as the dictionary. It is used for both boys and girls, and the masculine form Mugilan, with the ending -an, is also given to boys. Mugil is a native Tamil word, distinct from Sanskrit megha, which has the same meaning and gives the north Indian names Megh and Megha.
