Sunil is a popular Indian male given name, primarily found amongst Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, etc. in India.
It derives from Sanskrit roots “su” meaning “good, beautiful, pure”, and “nil” meaning “blue.” Hence Sunil would mean “blessed with a pure heart.” In India, names ending with ‘l’ are usually masculine and denoted by suffixes starting with ‘a’: Anila, Lalit, Chandan, Rakesh, etc.
