About the name Vimal

Purity in Jain usage is not a compliment about behaviour but a description of a soul with no karmic dust on it, and Vimal points straight at that. It reads a little mid-century in India now, which in diaspora families has flipped it into vintage-charming territory.

Vimal is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced vih-MULL. On the NameRarity scale it scores 79 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 1960s.
