What is the meaning of the name Khusboo ?

The baby name Khusboo is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /kʰʊʃˈbuː/ (approx. "khush-BOO").

Khusboo is Persian in Origin.

Khusboo is a South Asian feminine given name derived from Urdu/Hindi khushbū, “fragrance, perfume,” ultimately from Persian (khush “pleasant” + bū “scent”). It evokes sweetness, freshness, and auspiciousness; in Hindi it is written खुशबू and in Urdu خوشبو. Romanized spellings vary with transliteration.

Use of khushbū as a poetic image spread through Persianate court culture and Urdu/Hindi literature, and the word later transitioned into a personal name, gaining broad popularity from the late 20th century. Khusboo is common across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, and among the diaspora, with visibility strengthened by film and television figures bearing the name. Variant spellings include Khushboo (most frequent), Khushbu, Kushboo, and Khusbu; learned transliterations sometimes show Khushbū. The meaning remains “pleasant fragrance” or “sweet scent,” carrying connotations of charm, grace, and a positive aura.
