Indraneil is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Indraneil is a masculine Indian name rooted in the Sanskrit Indranīla (इन्द्रनील), a compound of Indra, the Vedic king of the gods, and nīla, “dark blue; sapphire.” In classical literature and traditional lexicons, indranīla specifically denotes the precious blue sapphire - “Indra’s blue” - and appears in Sanskrit poetry as well as in gemological texts (ratna shastra). As a given name, it evokes the gemstone’s associations with depth, clarity, and auspicious radiance.

The name rose to prominence in modern India, particularly in eastern regions and among Bengali speakers, and is now used across linguistic communities. Variants and spellings include Indranil, Indraneel, and the scholarly Indranīla; common diminutives are Neil/Neel and Indra. Related (but not a variant) is the feminine Indrani, “queen of Indra.” Indraneil thus combines a theonym with a color/stone term, yielding the elegant sense “sapphire of Indra” or “deep, Indra-blue.”
