Ojal (ओजल) is a short modern girls' name. On Indian name lists it is usually explained as "vision" or "brightness", and some lists place it beside names built on Sanskrit ojas, "vigour, splendour". We could not find either sense in the dictionaries. The one word spelled ojal that we did find is in Platts' Hindi dictionary, where it is simply another form of ojhal, "out of sight, hidden", also used for a screen or a sheltered, private place. Most families who choose the name intend the popular meaning, so treat "vision" as a sense that has grown up around the name.
