NIPU

Nipu is a personal name used in parts of South Asia, particularly among Bengali-speaking communities in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, as well as in neighboring regions such as Assam. It is typically a masculine given name and can also function as a nickname in some families. The exact origin of the name is not consistently documented in widely available sources; it is often treated as a variant or shortened form related to names such as Nipun, Nipuna, or Nipun in Bengali, Assamese, and Hindi-speaking areas. In linguistic and onomastic discussions, Nipu is generally associated with names that convey qualities like skill or proficiency, though interpretations vary by language and tradition.

In usage, Nipu appears in personal naming practices across rural and urban communities and is transmitted through families and local networks. Spelling and transliteration can vary; common renderings include Nipu, Nipuu, or Nipuhin in certain scripts. The name has appeared in local literature and media but does not have a single widely recognized historical figure that defines its prominence on an international scale.

Notable people named Nipu are primarily known within local or regional contexts, and no individual with global notability is widely documented under this spelling. See also Nipun, Nipuna, Nipun as related forms.
