Santokumari is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Santokumari is a North Indian feminine compound formed from Punjabi/Hindi santokh (ultimately Sanskrit santosha, “contentment”) and Sanskrit kumari, “maiden; princess.” Its sense is “maiden of contentment” or “contented princess.” The name appears among Hindu and Sikh families, especially in the Hindi- and Punjabi-speaking belt and in Nepal. Virtue names built on Santosh/Santokh have long currency in Sikh scripture (Gurbani) and bhakti traditions, and the form with Kumari gained traction in the 20th century as a formal given name.

Variants and related forms include Santok Kumari (spaced), Santosh Kumari, Santoshi Kumari; cognates and short forms Santok, Santokh, Santosh, Santoshi; nicknames Santu, Toshi, Kumari. Note that Kumari also functions as an honorific or middle/last name for unmarried women, so Santokumari may appear in records as Santok or Santosh with Kumari appended. Scripts: Devanagari संतोकुमारी; Gurmukhi ਸੰਤੋਖਕੁਮਾਰੀ. Overall, the name is uncommon but semantically transparent across Indo-Aryan languages.
