Premkumar meaning
Premkumar (प्रेमकुमार) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Preman 'love' + kumāra 'boy, son, prince': prince of love
Also used to mean: beloved son
Premkumar (प्रेमकुमार) joins prem, from Sanskrit preman, "love, affection, kindness", with kumāra, "boy, youth, son" and also "prince". Name lists give "prince of love" or "beloved son", both of which follow directly from the parts. It is used across India: in the North it is usually written as two words, Prem Kumar, as with the former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, while in Kerala and Tamil Nadu it is often written as one word.
