In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Rudranil (रुद्रनील) is a modern name used mainly in Bengal. It joins Rudra, the Vedic storm god later identified with Shiva, with what most families take to be nīla, "dark blue", recalling Shiva's blue throat; Nil and Neel are Bengali names. Some name lists read the second part as anila, "wind", instead. The compound is not in the dictionaries, so we show the parts rather than a confirmed meaning. A well-known bearer is the Bengali actor Rudranil Ghosh.
