Sonal is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Sonal is a modern Indo-Aryan feminine name written सोनल in Devanagari. Its etymology rests on the Sanskrit suvarṇa, gold or golden, which passed through Middle Indo-Aryan forms such as soṇa into Hindi and related languages as sonā, gold. The name-form Sonal adds an adjectival ending found in North Indian naming, giving the literal sense golden or having the quality of gold.
The name is mainly found among Hindu families in northern and western India, with easy transfer into Gujarati, Marathi, and Hindi-speaking contexts. Sonali is the best-known expanded form, while Sonalika is a longer derivative. Its golden sense naturally overlaps with Lakshmi imagery, since the goddess of prosperity is conventionally associated with gold, though Sonal is not a classical divine epithet. Public bearers such as dancer Sonal Mansingh helped keep the name visible in late-20th-century India and the diaspora.
