  • Choose one spelling from a set such as Ujjwal, Ujwal, Ujwol and Ujjwol, and use it on every document.
  • Note that Unique begins with य in Devanagari, so check how it will be written on a Nepali form.
  • Keep the meaning close when you choose: Uday for dawn, Utsav for celebration, Ujjwal for brightness.
