Kusum meaning
Kusum (कुसुम) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, कु, it is a Mithun rashi name (Ardra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A flower, a blossom
Kusum (कुसुम) is the Hindi form of Sanskrit kusuma, one of the classical words for a flower or blossom; Monier-Williams also gives fruit among its senses. It appears in many poetic compounds, such as kusumākara, "the flower-mine", a name for spring, and kusuma-śara, the flower-arrowed god of love. Name lists give "flower", matching the dictionary. Kusum is used across North India, and the fuller form Kusuma in the South.
