Rajkumar meaning
Rajkumar (राजकुमार) 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.
Son of a king, prince
Rajkumar (राजकुमार) is Sanskrit rāja-kumāra, made of rāja, "king", and kumāra, "boy, son". Monier-Williams gives it simply as a king's son, a prince, and in Hindi rajkumar is still the everyday word for a prince. As a given name it is used all over India and is spelt Rajakumar in the south. Famous bearers include Dr Rajkumar, the Kannada screen legend, and the film director Rajkumar Hirani.
