What is the meaning of the name Rajkumar ?

The baby name Rajkumar is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced RAHJ-koo-mahr.

Rajkumar is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajkumar represents Sanskrit राजकुमार, rājakumāra, a tatpuruṣa compound built from rāja king, ruler, ultimately from rājan-, and kumāra boy, youth, son, prince. The earliest recoverable form is the classical Sanskrit common noun rājakumāra, used for a royal son; as a personal name it preserves the literal sense king’s son or prince.

In South Asia, Rajkumar functions both as a given name and, in ordinary speech, as a title for princes in Hindi and related Indo-Aryan languages; Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil usage reflects Sanskritic naming vocabulary. Kumāra is also an epithet of Skanda/Kartikeya in Hindu tradition. Modern visibility owes much to Indian cinema, including Kannada actor Dr. Rajkumar and filmmakers Rajkumar Hirani and Rajkumar Kohli, while U.S. birth records show only rare, intermittent registration.
