Giving your baby an Indian name is a beautiful way to honor their heritage. Speakers of Hindi may be familiar with the boy's name, Agilan, which is said to mean "man who commands everything." With such a bold name, your little warrior will always use their voice for good and stand up proudly for their beliefs. Agilan's precise origins are actually somewhat of a mystery, still. It could derive from the Germanic element *agaz in names like Agilamunduz, lending Agilan the meaning "sharp" or "edge of a blade." Agilan is also a word in Serbo-Croatian that means "agile," adding to this name's already can-do attitude and energetic feel. Fittingly, Agilan is the name of the famous Malaysian MMA fighter Agilan "Alligator" Thani.
