Mithil, of Sanskrit origin, translates to 'large river' and is often associated with the sacred River Ganga in Hindu mythology. It's a unisex name that gained popularity in India during the late 20th century, particularly among parents who chose it for its unique sound and spiritual significance.
"Mithil saw a spike in births between 2007 and 2010, with eight babies born that year alone. However, the name's popularity has remained consistent over time, with an average of five to six births per year."
