We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Snehil (स्नेहिल) is a modern name with no entry of its own in the Sanskrit dictionaries. It is clearly built on Sanskrit sneha, which Monier-Williams records first as oiliness or smoothness and then as tenderness, love, fondness and friendship, the sense that survives in Hindi sneh, "affection". Families use Snehil to mean "affectionate" or "loving", and that fits its root, but we could not find the exact form in a dictionary, so we cannot confirm a precise meaning. It is a boys' counterpart to the girls' name Sneha.
