Sukhraj meaning
Sukhraj (ਸੁਖਰਾਜ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Sukh (happiness, peace) joined with rāj (king, kingdom)
Also used to mean: king of peace, king of happiness
Sukhraj (ਸੁਖਰਾਜ) joins sukh with rāj. The Mahan Kosh gives sukh as happiness, comfort and bliss, and rāj as a king or a kingdom, which in compounds means chief or foremost. Both words are common in the Guru Granth Sahib (Ang 1 and Ang 47). The parts give "king of peace" or "a kingdom of happiness", and name lists explain it in both ways. Sukhraj is a boys' name in Sikh families.
