Dindyal is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Dindyal is an Indo-Aryan name derived from Hindi/Urdu Deendayal, from Sanskrit Dīnadayāla: dīna “poor, humble, afflicted” + dayāla “compassionate, kind.” The sense is “merciful to the poor,” an epithet applied in devotional poetry to Hindu deities such as Rama and Krishna, and by extension a virtue-name wishing kindness and generosity. Spellings vary across dialects and diaspora records: Dindayal, Dindial, Deendayal, Deendial, and Deendyal; Dayal appears as a shortened form. Nicknames may include Din or Dayal.

Use as a given name is traditional among North Indian Hindus (especially Hindi- and Bhojpuri-speaking communities) and spread widely with 19th–20th‑century migration under indenture to the Caribbean, where it also became a hereditary surname. Today Dindyal remains most common in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname, with bearers in Canada, the United States, and the UK. The name is typically masculine; feminine counterparts include Dayawati/Dayalika, though Dindyal itself is occasionally unisex in diaspora usage.
