Ramkishore meaning
Ramkishore (रामकिशोर) 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 + kiśora 'youth, lad': the young Rāma
Also used to mean: young rama, lord rama
Ramkishore (रामकिशोर) joins Rāma with kiśora, which Monier-Williams gives first as "a colt" and then as "a youth, lad", the sense used in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. The name means "young Rama" and calls up the prince of Ayodhya in his boyhood, before his exile. Name lists give "young Rama" or simply "Lord Rama". Kishore is also a name on its own, and compounds like Ramkishore, Nandkishore and Jugalkishore are traditional in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan.
