Pratul meaning
Pratul (प्रतुल) is a Hindu boy's name of Bengali origin (from Sanskrit).
Plenty, ample supply; prosperity; copious
Also used to mean: abundance
Pratul (प्रतुल) is mainly a Bengali name. The Samsad Bengali–English Dictionary records pratula as "a large supply" and "prosperity, affluence", and as an adjective "copious, ample". Name lists give "plenty" or "abundance", matching the dictionary. We could not find the word in Monier-Williams, so it is best treated as a Bengali word of Sanskrit form. Well-known bearers include the singer-songwriter Pratul Mukhopadhyay, whose song "Ami Banglay Gaan Gai" is widely loved, and the revolutionary Pratul Chandra Ganguli.
