Pushpendra meaning
Pushpendra (पुष्पेन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Puṣpa, flower + indra, chief, best of: lord of flowers
Also used to mean: king of flowers
Pushpendra (पुष्पेन्द्र) joins Sanskrit puṣpa, "flower, blossom", with indra. Indra is the king of the gods, and Monier-Williams notes that at the end of a compound the word simply means "chief" or "best of", as in Surendra and Rajendra. So the name reads as "lord of flowers" or "king of flowers", which is how name lists explain it. It is used in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, and is often shortened to Pushp.
