Saral meaning

Saral (सरल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).

Straight; upright, sincere, honest, simple

Saral (सरल, Gujarati સરલ) is the Sanskrit adjective sarala. Its literal sense is "running on", so straight rather than crooked, and Monier-Williams then gives the senses that make it a name: right, upright, sincere, candid, honest, artless and simple, real rather than sham. As a noun it names the long-leaved Himalayan pine and, poetically, fire. In Gujarati and Hindi, saral is the everyday word for easy or simple. Name lists give the same meaning. Saral is the boys' form; Sarala and Sarla are the girls'.
