Gungun meaning
Gungun (गुनगुन) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin.
Buzzing, humming; soft, murmured speech
Also used to mean: humming a tune
Gungun (गुनगुन) is a Hindi word that imitates its own sound: the soft buzz of humming. Platts' Hindustani dictionary gives gungun as buzzing or humming and as soft, murmured speech, and the verb gungunānā as to hum or sing softly. It also notes plainer senses such as grumbling or speaking through the nose, which no one intends in a name. Name lists give Gungun as "humming" or "humming a tune". It is used as a pet name and is also given as a full name in North India.
