Mehul is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Mehul is an Indian masculine name rooted in the Indo-Aryan languages, written as मेहुल in Devanagari and મેહુલ in Gujarati. It stems from Sanskrit megha, “cloud,” through Hindi and Gujarati developments where Mehul denotes “rain,” evoking the life-giving monsoon and, by extension, freshness, renewal, and prosperity. The name is particularly common in western India, especially among Gujarati speakers, and spread widely across India and the diaspora in the late 20th century as a modern yet culturally resonant choice.

Spellings vary in Roman script - Mehool and, less often, Mihul - while related names built on the same root include Megh, Megha (feminine), Meghal, Meghraj, and Meghnad. Usage tends to be secular and pan-Indian, appearing in business, arts, and sport rather than tied to a single community or deity. Parents often favor Mehul for its gentle sound and auspicious seasonal imagery.
