Rajkamal meaning
Rajkamal (राजकमल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Rāja 'king' + kamala 'lotus': royal lotus
Also used to mean: king of lotuses
Rajkamal (राजकमल) joins rāja, "king", with kamala, "lotus". At the start of a compound rāja often means "royal" or "the finest", so the name reads "royal lotus" or "king of lotuses", which is how name lists give it. The lotus is the flower of Lakṣmī and Viṣṇu and a symbol of beauty rising untouched from muddy water. Monier-Williams does not list the compound, so the meaning comes from its parts. The Maithili and Hindi writer Rajkamal Choudhary is a well-known bearer.
