Rajkishore meaning
Rajkishore (राजकिशोर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage). By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Princely youth (rāja 'king' + kiśora 'youth, lad')
Rajkishore (राजकिशोर, Odia ରାଜକିଶୋର) joins rāja, "king", with kiśora. Monier-Williams gives kiśora first as a colt and then as a youth or lad, and rāja as a king, a chief or the best of its kind. Together they suggest a princely youth, a young prince. The compound is not itself a dictionary headword, so the meaning comes from its two parts. Names ending in -kishore, such as Nandkishore and Ramkishore, are used across North and East India, and Rajkishore is used in Odisha and Bihar, often written as two words, Raj Kishore.
