Rijul is a modern Indian given name drawn from Sanskrit ṛju (ऋजु), meaning “straight, upright, honest,” hence the senses “innocent,” “simple,” and “truthful.” In Hindi and other North Indian languages it appears as ऋजुल (Rijul), with the -ul ending functioning as a nominal form built on the virtue-root. The core idea evokes moral rectitude and purity, akin to “walking a straight path.”

As a personal name, Rijul gained visibility in late 20th-century India and among the global Indian diaspora, favored for its clear virtue connotations and compact sound. Usage skews masculine but is sometimes treated as unisex. Common variants and related forms include Riju (short form, especially in Bengali and Assamese) and the feminine Rijula. Less common transliterations may omit diacritics, but the semantic base remains ṛju. Parents choosing Rijul often emphasize honesty, simplicity, and integrity as guiding qualities.
