Dwijendralal is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Dwijendralal is a Bengali masculine compound formed from Sanskrit Dvijendra (dvi ‘twice’ + ja ‘born’ → dvija ‘twice‑born’; -indra ‘lord, chief’) and Lāl (‘beloved; cherished; ruby’). The name therefore conveys “beloved lord of the twice‑born,” a classical phrase referring to Brahmins or, more broadly, the learned; it can also be read poetically as “cherished jewel among the learned.”

Best known through the playwright-composer Dwijendralal Roy (1863–1913), the name entered modern circulation in Bengal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and remains familiar in literary and musical contexts. Variant transliterations include Dvijendralal; it may also appear as the two-word Dwijendra Lal. Related forms and nicknames are Dwijendra, Dwijen, and the Bengali-pronounced Dwijendro. Today the name is uncommon but respected across West Bengal and Bangladesh, sometimes chosen to honor D. L. Roy or to evoke a scholarly, Sanskritic heritage.
