Nipun meaning
Nipun (निपुण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Clever, adroit, skilful; perfect, complete
Also used to mean: skilled, expert
Nipun (निपुण) is Sanskrit nipuṇa, which Monier-Williams gives as clever, adroit, skilful, sharp or acute, and skilled in some art. The word could also mean kind or friendly, delicate, and perfect or complete, as of purity or devotion. In Hindi nipuṇ is still the ordinary word for someone expert at a task, and the abstract noun naipuṇya means skill. Name lists give "skilled" or "expert", matching the dictionary. Nipun is used across North and West India.
