Nirupam

Nirupam meaning

Nirupam (निरुपम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Peerless, unequalled, incomparable

Also used to mean: unique

Nirupam (निरुपम) is Sanskrit nirupama, "without an upamā", without anything to compare it with. Monier-Williams gives it as peerless, unequalled or incomparable, citing the Harivamsha and classical poetry, and also records it as a man's name. Upamā, the word inside it, is also the Sanskrit term for a simile. Name lists give "incomparable" or "unique", matching the dictionary. The name is used especially in Bengal, Assam and North India; Nirupam Sen was India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
