Bhaumik meaning
Bhaumik (भौमिक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Being on the earth; earthly
Also used to mean: landlord
Bhaumik (भौमिक) comes from Sanskrit bhaumika, an adjective formed from bhūmi, "earth". Monier-Williams gives it as being on the earth, or gathered on the ground or on a particular piece of land. Baby-name lists give the name as "earthly" or "born of the earth", in line with the dictionary, and some add "landlord", a sense that comes from the Bengali surname Bhowmik, long associated with landholding families. As a first name Bhaumik is chosen mostly by Gujarati families, while in Bengal it is better known as a surname.
