Kajall is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Kajall is a modern respelling of Kajal, a Hindi-Bengali-Marathi-Nepali given name ultimately from Sanskrit kajjala, meaning collyrium or soot - the black kohl traditionally applied around the eyes. As a name it evokes beauty, expressive eyes, and the folk belief that a swipe of kajal wards off the evil eye while bringing clarity of vision and good fortune.
Used as a given name across South Asia since the mid-20th century, it is chiefly feminine but can be unisex in Bengal and Nepal. Indian film and music helped popularize it, with bearers such as actresses Kajol and Kajal Aggarwal boosting recognition beyond the region and into the diaspora. Established variants include Kajal (standard), Kajol (regional/phonetic), and the less common Kajall; related forms and nicknames include Kaj, Kaju, and Kajji. A cognate-by-meaning is Anjana, another Sanskrit term for collyrium.
Kajall is exceptionally rare. There are only 11 recorded uses on record, spread over 5 countries.
