Nishchal meaning
Nishchal (निश्चल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Motionless, immovable, fixed, steady, unchangeable
Also used to mean: calm, unshakable
Nishchal (निश्चल) is Sanskrit niścala, "without motion", from niḥ, "without", and cala, "moving". Monier-Williams gives it as motionless, immovable, fixed, steady, invariable or unchangeable, and records the feminine niścalā, "the immovable one", as a name for the earth. In Hindi niśchal still describes a person or a gaze that does not waver. Name lists give "steady", "calm" or "unshakable", matching the dictionary. Nischal, without the h, is another spelling.
