Kamalakar meaning
Kamalakar (कमलाकर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A mass of lotuses; a lake or pool where lotuses abound
Also used to mean: filled with lotuses
Kamalakar (कमलाकर) is the Sanskrit kamalākara, made from kamala, "lotus", and ākara, "mine, abundance, rich source". Monier-Williams defines it as "a mass of lotuses" or "a lake or pool where lotuses abound", a picture found in the Rāmāyaṇa. Name lists give "filled with lotuses". Monier-Williams also notes it as the name of several authors, including a commentator on the Mitākṣarā law book. The name is used in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, where it is also spelled Kamlakar.
