History:

SHISHUPAL: A fiery name with a powerful story.

However, it often means "one with a hundred protectors," suggesting a powerful person with many loyal friends. This meaning likely comes from the Mahabharata, where this name belongs to a powerful, arrogant king who defied Krishna. His "hundred protectors" might have been his strong army or influential supporters. The Mahabharata story is the most important thing about this name, shaping how people understand it more than any origin myth.

Description:

This names connection to Krishna, Vishnus avatar, is strong. Balarama, Krishnas older brother, is a key figure in their stories. Janmashtami celebrates Krishnas birthday, and Holi, a colorful festival, often reflects Krishnas fun-loving side. Regional differences mean other festivals might also be celebrated.
