About the name Kokil
Kokil is the black cuckoo whose call announces spring in Sanskrit poetry, and the word is a stock metaphor for a fine singing voice. The masculine form is far rarer than its feminine counterpart and now sounds pleasantly out of step with the times.
Kokil is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced KOH-kil. On the NameRarity scale it scores 96 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
