Madhur meaning
Madhur (मधुर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Sweet, pleasant, charming, delightful; melodious
Madhur (मधुर) is Sanskrit madhura, "sweet", formed from madhu, "honey". Monier-Williams gives sweet, pleasant, charming and delightful, and, when said of a voice or a sound, melodious; used as an adverb it means in a kind and friendly way. Name lists give "sweet" or "melodious", exactly the dictionary sense. In Hindi madhur is still an everyday word for a sweet voice or a pleasant manner. The name is mostly given to boys in North India, while the form Madhura is a girl's name in Maharashtra and the South.
