Bhupati meaning

Bhupati (भूपति) 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.

Lord of the earth; a king, monarch

Bhupati (भूपति) is Sanskrit bhū-pati, from bhū, "earth", and pati, "lord, master". Monier-Williams gives it as "lord of the earth", used in Vedic texts as a title of Rudra and of Indra, and in the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa for a king, monarch or prince. Baby-name lists give the name as "lord of the earth" or "king", matching the dictionary. The name is used across India, and in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu it is usually spelled Bhupathi.
