Meaning, etymology & significance

Anula (अनुला) is built from anu — the Sanskrit prefix meaning "following, in accord with, following in dharmic sequence" — with the feminine ending. The literal sense is "she who follows the natural order, the harmonious one."

The Sanskrit anu underlies a whole family of feminine names in the corpus — Anvika, Anuvi, Anvitha, Anvi. Anula adds another with the gentle "harmonious" sense.
