Nirmay (निर्मय) is a modern name that we could not find in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Name lists usually give it as "pure" or "without fault", and a few link it to Vishnu. The closest recorded words point in different directions: Monier-Williams has nirāmaya, "free from illness, healthy" and also "untainted, pure", which fits the popular meaning, and nirmāya, a rare Vedic word for "powerless", which does not. Families who choose Nirmay intend the sense of purity, but the name's exact origin is uncertain.
