Rajmohan meaning
Rajmohan (राजमोहन) 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' + mohana 'bewildering, infatuating, enchanting'
Also used to mean: royal charmer, enchanting king
Rajmohan (राजमोहन) joins rāja, "king", with mohana. Monier-Williams gives mohana as "bewildering, infatuating", the power to captivate the mind, and records it as a name of Shiva and of one of the arrows of Kāma, the god of love. In Hindi, Mohan, "the enchanter", is a much-loved name of Krishna. Indian name lists render Rajmohan as "royal charmer" or "enchanting king", which fits these senses. A well-known bearer is the historian and biographer Rajmohan Gandhi.
