Khushbu is Hindi, Persian, Urdu in Origin.
Khushbu is a South Asian feminine name from Persian خوشبو, transliterated khushbū or khushbu. The root language is Persian: khush denotes pleasant, agreeable, or sweet, while bū is smell, scent, or odor. As a compound adjective and noun, the earliest recoverable form is Persian khush-bū, literally pleasant scent or good smell; in Hindi and Urdu it was naturalized as खुशबू / خوشبو, the everyday word for fragrance or perfume.
The name is most familiar in Hindi- and Urdu-speaking communities, with use among Hindus, Muslims, and diaspora families rather than belonging to one religious tradition. Khushboo is a common expanded spelling, reflecting the long ū vowel, while Khusbu appears in simplified romanization. Public visibility in India has been helped by actress and politician Khushbu Sundar. In United States birth data the name appears rarely, chiefly from the 1980s and 1990s, matching South Asian immigration patterns.
