What is the meaning of the name Kumudin ?

Kumudin is Sanskrit in Origin.

From Sanskrit kumuda (“white lotus, fragrant waterlily,” esp. the night-blooming Nymphaea), Kumudin is a typically masculine Sanskritic given name. The suffix -in in Sanskrit denotes “possessing” or “endowed with,” so Kumudin conveys “lotus-like,” “one endowed with the lotus,” and by poetic extension qualities linked with the lotus - purity, calm, and joy. Because classical poets describe the kumuda opening to the moon, the name also carries lunar, nocturnal grace and gentle radiance.

Used in learned and devotional Sanskrit as an epithet and personal name, it filtered into modern Indian naming across Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Odia, and Nepali communities, and among the diaspora. Attestations appear in classical verse (e.g., Kālidāsa, Jayadeva), where kumuda imagery symbolizes serene delight. Variants and related forms include Kumud (unisex short form), Kumuda, the feminine Kumudini/Kumudhini (“night-blooming waterlily”), and occasional transliterations such as Kumudhin.
