Indulal is Indian in Origin.
Indulal is a masculine Indian given name formed from Sanskrit indu “moon” and Indo‑Aryan lāl “beloved; dear son,” a familiar honorific element in North Indian names. The compound conveys “beloved of the Moon” or “moon‑beloved son,” drawing on the moon’s associations with cool radiance, gentleness, and auspicious serenity in Sanskritic literature and devotional poetry. As with many -lal names, it also subtly connotes affection and parental endearment.
Use is attested across North and Western India, especially among Gujarati speakers; a prominent bearer was the independence leader Indulal Yagnik (1889–1972). The name saw steady 20th‑century use but is rarer today, with Indu sometimes serving as a shorter modern alternative. Variants and spellings include Indulāl (IAST), Indulaal, and the spaced form Indu Lal. Common nicknames are Indu and Lalu. Related thematic names include Soma/Somnath and Chandra/Chandresh.
