Ninad meaning
Ninad (निनाद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Sound, noise; crying, humming
Also used to mean: divine sound
Ninad (निनाद) is Sanskrit nināda, from the verb ni-nad, "to sound, to resound". Monier-Williams gives it as sound or noise in general, including crying and humming, citing the Mahabharata and classical poetry; nāda alone is the word Indian music uses for musical sound. Name lists give "sound" or "divine sound"; the dictionary supports "sound", and the sacred overtone is a modern elaboration. Ninad is used in Maharashtra.
