Rajendra-Kumar as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Rajendra-Kumar

What is the meaning of the name Rajendra-Kumar ?

The baby name Rajendra-Kumar is a Male name and is pronounced RAH-JEN-DRAH KOO-MAAR; IPA: /rɑːˈdʒɛndrə ˈkuːmɑːr/.

Rajendra-Kumar is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajendra-Kumar blends two Sanskrit names with regal resonance. Rajendra (Rājendra, राजेन्द्र) unites rāja “king” and indra “lord/chief,” yielding “lord of kings,” an epithet of Indra and also used for Shiva. Kumar (Kumāra, कुमार) means “prince, youth, son,” and is a theonym for Skanda/Kārtikeya, the divine general. Together the compound suggests “sovereign prince” or “princely lord.”

The name functions as a male compound given name across South Asia - especially in Hindi and Nepali spheres, but also in Marathi, Odia, Bengali, and among Tamil- and Telugu-speakers - peaking in mid-to-late 20th century usage and familiar through public figures such as the Hindi film star Rajendra Kumar. Orthographic variants reflect regional practice: Rajendra Kumar (spaced), Rajendra-Kumar (hyphenated), and Rajendrakumar (solid). Diminutives and short forms include Rajen, Raja, Raj, and Raju. Note that Kumar also occurs independently as a middle or surname in many Indian naming traditions.
