"नेपाल" meaning in Sanskrit

See नेपाल in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /nɐj.pɑː.lɐ/ [Vedic], /n̪eːˈpɑː.l̪ɐ/ [Classical]
Etymology: Sometimes explained as an artificial Sanskritization of Prakrit 𑀡𑁂𑀯𑀸𑀮 (ṇevāla), compare Newar नेवाः (newā:, “Newar”). Others regard the Sanskrit form as older. Perhaps ultimately of Sino-Tibetan origin. More on Wikipedia. Popular etymologies derive it from compounds like ने (ne, “a chief”) + पाल (pāla, “cherishing”).
