About the name Niral
Niral is a modern Gujarati coinage rather than a scriptural name, minted in the late twentieth century when parents wanted something that sounded Sanskritic without belonging to anyone's grandparent. It splits evenly, with Nirali the usual feminine stretch and plain Niral used for both.
