Makarand meaning
Makarand (मकरंद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
The nectar or honey of flowers; also a bee
Makarand (मकरंद) is Sanskrit makaranda, the juice or nectar of flowers, and so honey. Monier-Williams adds a cluster of related senses, all from the world of gardens: a kind of jasmine, a fragrant mango, the bee that gathers the nectar, the Indian cuckoo, and, as a neuter noun, the filament of a lotus. Name lists give "nectar" or "honey", which matches the dictionary. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra, where well-known bearers include the actors Makarand Anaspure and Makarand Deshpande.
