Snehil (Devanagari स्नेहिल) is a Sanskrit-derived Hindi name rooted in sneha, meaning affection, love, and warm attachment. It reflects the classical adjective snehila, affectionate or tender, with the modern form Snehil conveying imbued-with-love. Typically two syllables, pronounced SNEH-hil or snay-hil, it is used for all genders but is more common for boys in North India and among Marathi, Gujarati, and Nepali speakers.

While the root sneha permeates Sanskrit literature, Snehil as a given name rose to wider use in the late twentieth century alongside virtue-centered modern Indian naming. Documented variants and related forms include Snehal (especially in Marathi, often feminine), Snehi (loving; friendly), and the short form Sneh; rare transliterations show Snēhil. The name signals kindness, tenderness, and loyal affection, and has traveled with the Indian diaspora to the Gulf, North America, and the United Kingdom.
