Kusumlata (Devanagari: कुसुमलता) is a feminine Indian name deriving from Sanskrit kusuma ‘flower’ and latā ‘creeper, vine’. It conveys the image of a flowering vine - graceful, fragrant, and resilient - and by extension beauty and vitality. Through Prakrits into modern Indo‑Aryan languages, it is used in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, and Bengali, and is also familiar in the Indian diaspora.

Compound –latā names became fashionable in the late 19th and mid‑20th centuries under Sanskritic revival trends and remain in steady traditional use, especially in North India. Notable spellings and variants include Kusum Lata (two‑word form), Kusumlatha (South Indian orthography), and the scholarly transliteration Kusumlatā/Kusumalatā. Short forms are Kusum and Lata/Latha. Related names with similar imagery include Pushpalata (“flower-vine”), Malati, and Madhulata. The name’s meaning symbolizes tenderness joined with steadfast growth, making it a poetic, nature‑evoking choice.
