Giving your child a name that means “pain” might sound slightly twisted at first, but the precise meaning you give to a name is up to you. Maybe you simply want to ensure they have the strength to get through pain in their lives, to safeguard them against pain, or to symbolize that you found their birth to be a relief from your pain.
For instance, the name Brirar means “without pain.” It’s a Hindi name for boys of moderate popularity all across India.
