Niharul Islam is in Origin.

Niharul Islam is a South Asian Muslim male compound name combining Nihar and the Arabic idafa -ul-Islam, meaning “of Islam.” Nihar has two plausible etymologies: from Sanskrit nihāra (Bengali/Hindi nihar) meaning “dew, mist, early morning haze,” and from Arabic nahār meaning “daylight, daytime.” Taken together, the sense evokes “dew or morning light of Islam” or “daylight of Islam,” aligning with virtue-and-faith constructions in the region.

Usage is chiefly Bangladeshi and eastern Indian from the mid-20th century onward, modeled on familiar forms like Nurul Islam and Saiful Islam. Attested variants include Nihar-ul-Islam, Niharul-Islam, Nihar Al Islam, and Neharul/Nehaarul Islam; related given names are Nihar (standalone) and Nahaar. The name is typically masculine, with short forms such as Nihar or Nishu. Though not a classical Arabic theophoric, it blends Indic imagery with Islamic identity, conveying freshness, clarity, and piety.
