What is the meaning of the name Rajakumaran ?

The baby name Rajakumaran is a Male name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /rɑːdʒəkumɑːrən/; respelling: rah-juh-koo-mah-run.

Rajakumaran is Sanskrit, Tamil in Origin.

Rajakumaran is a South Indian masculine given name, especially in Tamil and Malayalam, meaning “prince” or “son of a king.” It fuses Sanskrit rāja “king” with kumaran, the Tamil/Malayalam form of Sanskrit kumāra “boy, prince.” The –an ending marks masculine gender in Tamil. As a compound denoting royal descent, it appears in inscriptions and literature as a title and later stabilized as a personal name.

Common variants include Rajakumar (Tamil/Kannada), Rajkumar (Hindi/Marathi), Raja Kumaran or Raja Kumar (spacing), and Kannada Raajakumara; the feminine counterparts are Rajakumari and Rajkumari. Short forms Raja and Kumar are frequent. Usage today spans Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Sri Lankan Tamil communities, where the element Kumaran also evokes the youthful deity Murugan, adding auspicious resonance to the straightforward meaning “prince.”
