About the name Prahlad

Prahlad kept chanting Vishnu's name through fire, poison and every torment his father could devise, which is why Holi bonfires still burn Holika each spring. For a name that means joyful it has a remarkably grim backstory, and the joy is the point.

Prahlad is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced pruh-HLAAD. On the NameRarity scale it scores 91 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 timeless.
