Shantilal meaning
Shantilal (शांतिलाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit and Hindi origin (Gujarati usage).
Śānti 'peace, tranquillity' + Hindi lāl 'darling, son'
Also used to mean: peaceful
Shantilal (शांतिलाल) is a Gujarati name in two parts. Śānti is the Sanskrit word for peace, tranquillity and calmness of mind, the word repeated at the close of many prayers. Lāl is the Hindi word for a darling or a little son, and Platts notes it as a Hindu personal name; it ends many older names such as Kantilal and Ratilal. Name lists give Shantilal as "peaceful" or "beloved of peace". It is used by Gujarati Hindu and Jain families.
