Nilaksh meaning
Nilaksh (नीलाक्ष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, नी, it is a Vrishchik rashi name (Anuradha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Blue-eyed; a goose
Nilaksh (नीलाक्ष) is Sanskrit nīlākṣa, from nīla, "dark blue", and akṣa, "eye". Monier-Williams gives it as "blue-eyed", and the old lexicons also use it as a word for a goose. Since nīla covers dark blue, dark green and black, the name can describe deep, dark eyes as much as blue ones. Name lists give "blue-eyed", matching the dictionary. Nilakshi is the matching girls' name, and Neelaksh is an alternative spelling.
