About the name Ujjwal

Ujjwal is brightness of the clean, blazing kind, the adjective used for a polished surface or an unclouded reputation. It is common across Bengal, Nepal and the Hindi belt, and the doubled consonant gives it a weight that shorter light-names do not have.

Ujjwal is a unisex name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced UJ-wul. On the NameRarity scale it scores 88 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 1990s.
