Kushboo is Urdu in Origin.
Kushboo is a South Asian given name derived from the Hindustani word khushbū (Devanagari: ख़ुश्बू; Urdu: خوشبو), meaning “fragrance,” “perfume,” or “pleasant scent.” The term itself is borrowed from Persian khushbū, a compound of khush “pleasant” and bū “smell,” and entered Hindi-Urdu centuries ago through literary and courtly contact with Persian. In romanization the aspirated velar fricative kh is sometimes simplified to k, producing the spelling Kushboo.
Use as a personal name has been widespread across India, Pakistan, and the South Asian diaspora since the late 20th century, reinforced by film and television personalities bearing the name. It is chiefly feminine, though occasionally unisex. Common variants include Khushboo, Khushbu, Kushbu, Khusboo, and Khusbu; affectionate forms such as Khushi also occur. Related meaning-names in Indo-Aryan languages include Sugandha and Mahak, both evoking the idea of sweet fragrance.
