Nirdosh meaning

Nirdosh (निर्दोष) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Faultless, defectless, guiltless; innocent; infallible

Nirdosh (निर्दोष) is Sanskrit nirdoṣa, "without doṣa", without fault or defect. Monier-Williams gives it as faultless, defectless and guiltless, innocent, citing the Mahabharata and classical poetry, and in philosophical writing as infallible. In Hindi nirdosh is the ordinary word for someone innocent of a charge. Name lists give "faultless" or "innocent", matching the dictionary. The name is used mainly in North India and is chosen for its sense of a clean and blameless character.
