What is the meaning of the name Komal ?

The baby name Komal is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈkoʊməl/ (English); Indian: /koːməl/ — approx. 'KO-mal' (stress on first syllable).

Komal is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Komal is a unisex given name from Sanskrit komala (कोमल), meaning "soft, tender, gentle, delicate," with nuances of charm and mildness. The word permeates Indo-Aryan languages (Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Nepali, Urdu) and, in Hindustani classical music, komal labels the flattened swaras, reinforcing associations of softness. As a personal name it appears in North and West India, Nepal, and Pakistan, and has travelled with the South Asian diaspora; contemporary usage skews feminine, though masculine bearers persist in Punjabi and Hindi contexts.

Variants include Komala (South Indian), Komol (Bengali/Assamese, often masculine), and, in Bengali usage, Komola. Related but etymologically distinct are Kamal and Kamala ("lotus; perfection"). The name appears in literary and cinematic contexts and has maintained steady popularity from the late twentieth century, while preserving its core sense of tenderness and grace.
