What is the meaning of the name Anala ?

The baby name Anala is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-NAH-lah.

Anala is Sanskrit in Origin.

Anala is a Sanskrit-derived given name meaning “fire,” from anala, an epithet of the Vedic fire-god Agni and a common word for flame and burning heat. The term occurs across classical Sanskrit literature and in Pali Buddhist texts with the same sense, giving the name connotations of ardor, energy, and brilliance.

As a modern given name in South Asia, Anala is rare but growing, used for both sexes and most often for girls in contemporary Hindu and diasporic communities. Historical personal-name attestations are sparse, but its Vedic pedigree lends traditional weight. Variants include the shorter Indian masculine Anal; nicknames such as Ana, Ani, or Anu are also heard. Do not confuse it with Anila (different root, “wind”). Related thematics appear in names like Agni, Tejas, and Pavaka. Pronunciation commonly follows Hindi/English: AH-nuh-luh.
