Champak meaning
Champak (चंपक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
The champak tree, bearing fragrant yellow flowers
Also used to mean: fragrant flower
Champak (चंपक) is the Sanskrit campaka, the champak tree, known today as Magnolia champaca. Monier-Williams describes it as bearing a yellow fragrant flower and also lists its flower and a perfume made from it. The blossoms are offered in temples, worn in the hair and praised in Sanskrit poetry for their colour and scent. Baby-name lists give the name as "a fragrant flower", matching the dictionary. Champak and Champaklal are older names used in Gujarat, and the same word gives the girls' names Champa and Champakali.
