Ramgopal meaning
Ramgopal (रामगोपाल) 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.
Rāma + gopāla 'cowherd', a name of Kṛṣṇa: Rāma and Kṛṣṇa
Also used to mean: rama and krishna
Ramgopal (रामगोपाल) joins two divine names. Rāma is the hero of the Rāmāyaṇa, and gopāla, literally "cowherd", is a name of Krishna, who grew up among the cowherds of Vrindavan. Since both are avatars of Viṣṇu, name lists explain Ramgopal as "Rama and Krishna" together. It is a North Indian name. The film director Ram Gopal Varma and the dancer Ram Gopal, who brought Indian classical dance to European audiences, are well-known bearers.
