Pervading, Cloud-like
Explanation:
अश्निल (Ashnil) is a personal name, used mainly by Indian Hindus, though the name is not very common. The name (probably) has its root in Sanskrit, where:
अश्न => pervading, cloud (of course cloud is something that pervades the earth).
-इल has been added to it as a suffix to further express a quality (=adjective).
Thus अश्निल has the sense "pervading", "cloud-like" etc.

Any other suggestions would be welcome.
