Kulbhushan meaning
Kulbhushan (कुलभूषण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, कु, it is a Mithun rashi name (Ardra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Ornament of the family (kula, 'family' + bhūṣaṇa, 'ornament')
Kulbhushan (कुलभूषण) is Sanskrit kulabhūṣaṇa, from kula, "family, lineage", and bhūṣaṇa, "ornament, adornment". Monier-Williams records it as an adjective, family-adorning, someone who is the ornament of his line. It belongs to a group of names, along with Kuldeep, that express the hope that a son will bring honour to his family. Name lists give "ornament of the family", which matches the dictionary. The actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda is a well-known bearer.
