Kokilambal is Tamil in Origin.

Kokilambal is a South Indian (Tamil) feminine name formed from Sanskrit kokila "cuckoo/koel," a symbol of spring and sweet song, and amba/ambal "mother, goddess," a devotional honorific for Parvati. The compound therefore conveys "sweet-voiced mother," "goddess like the cuckoo," or "lady of melodious speech," blending a Sanskrit lexeme with a Tamilized feminine ending.

Used across Tamil Nadu in Shaivite and Smarta households, it appears in 19th- and 20th-century records and in temple epithets for forms of Parvati; in everyday use it often shortens to Kokila or Ambal. Variant spellings include Kokilambaal, Kokilamba, Kokilambika; a fully Tamil counterpart is Kuyilambal (kuyil "cuckoo"). Related modern variants include Kokila, Kokilam, and the affectionate Koki. The name carries connotations of grace, auspiciousness, and a pleasing voice, and it pairs well with other Tamil goddess names in compound family naming traditions.
