Komal is a unisex given name of Sanskrit origin, which means 'well-formed' or 'perfect'. It is particularly popular among South Asian communities, notably in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. This name gained popularity in recent decades due to its uniqueness and positive connotation. Komal can be pronounced as koe-mahl with the stress on the first syllable.
The name Komal experienced a significant rise in popularity between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, with consistent high numbers of births every year from 1988 to 1997, peaking at 41 births in 1998. However, since then there has been a decline, falling below 20 births per year after 2003 and reaching a recent low of 5 births in both 2010 and 2013.
