Pyarelal meaning
Pyarelal (प्यारेलाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Hindi origin.
Hindi pyārā 'beloved, dear' + lāl 'darling, son': beloved son
Also used to mean: dear son
Pyarelal (प्यारेलाल) is a Hindi name made of two affectionate words. Pyārā means "beloved, precious, dear, darling", and lāl means a darling or a little son, so the name reads "beloved son" or "dear darling". Platts records both words. Some lists also link it to Krishna, the beloved child of Braj. Two famous bearers are Pyarelal Nayyar, the long-time secretary and biographer of Mahatma Gandhi, and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma, one half of the Hindi film music duo Laxmikant–Pyarelal.
