Jugalkishore is a compound masculine given name in the Indo-Aryan tradition, from Sanskrit yugala “pair, couple” and kishora “youth, adolescent.” In devotional usage it denotes the “youthful divine couple,” Radha and Krishna, and by extension names Krishna himself as the youthful lord of the pair. The meaning therefore evokes beauty, companionship, and playful youth.

The name appears in North Indian Vaishnava culture and is reflected in temple names such as Jugal Kishore Mandir, Vrindavan; as a personal name it gained steady usage in the Hindi belt and neighboring regions from the 19th century onward and persists in the South Asian diaspora. Common variants include Jugal Kishore, Jugal Kishor, Jugalkishor; Sanskritized or phonetic forms Yugal Kishore/Yugalkishor; and regional shortenings Jugal, Kishore/Kishor, and Bengali Kisor. It remains a culturally resonant, reverent choice.
