Blue or indigo; also nothing or zero.
In Sanskrit, the name is derived from 'Nila', meaning a deep blue or indigo color, often associated with the sky or the Hindu deity Shiva. In Latin-based languages, it is the word for 'nothing' or 'zero', giving it a minimalist, modern feel. It is also the Catalan and Turkish form of the name of the Nile River.
