Bhupal meaning
Bhupal (भूपाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, भू, it is a Dhanu rashi name (Purva Ashadha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
'earth-guardian', a king, prince
Bhupal (भूपाल) is Sanskrit bhū-pāla, from bhū, "earth", and pāla, "guardian, protector". Monier-Williams gives it as "earth-guardian", that is a king or prince, and notes it as a name of the scholar-king Bhoja. Baby-name lists give the name simply as "king", which matches the dictionary. A related feminine form, bhūpālī, is the name of the much-loved evening Raga Bhupali. Bhupal is used across North and Central India and Nepal, and it belongs to the same family of royal names as Bhupendra and Bhupati.
