Nilan

The name Nilan has roots in ancient Sanskrit, where 'nila' refers to the color dark blue or sapphire. This color is often associated with the sky, oceans, and certain deities in Hindu mythology, particularly Vishnu and Krishna, who are depicted with blue skin. The name also carries the meaning of 'moon' in some contexts, further linking it to celestial and natural elements. Its usage is primarily found in South Asian cultures, particularly in India and Sri Lanka, where it has been a traditional given name for boys for centuries.
