About the name Atul

Atul is formed by negation, a-tula, meaning without a scale to weigh him against. Its two blunt syllables have made it one of the easiest Indian names for English speakers to carry, which is why so many Atuls end up abroad without ever adopting a nickname.

Atul is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced uh-TOOL. On the NameRarity scale it scores 86 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
