Ramkumar meaning
Ramkumar (रामकुमार) 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.
Prince Rāma: rāma + kumāra 'boy, son, prince'
Also used to mean: prince rama, son of rama
Ramkumar (रामकुमार) joins Rāma, the hero of the Rāmāyaṇa, whose name means "pleasing, charming", with kumāra, "boy, son, prince". It is usually read as "Prince Rāma", recalling Rāma as the young prince of Ayodhya, and some lists give "son of Rāma". Kumar is also used as a separate second element in north Indian names, so the name is often written as two words. Ramakumar is the southern form. A well-known bearer is the painter Ram Kumar, a leading figure of Indian modern art.
