ShishirKumar is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
ShishirKumar is a compound Indic male name from Sanskrit: śiśira denotes the cool season or winter, connoting freshness, clarity, and calm, while kumāra means “youth,” “boy,” or “prince,” and names the war-god Kartikeya. Together the sense is “winter-born prince,” “cool-tempered youth,” or “princely one of the cold season,” a poetic evocation familiar from classical texts such as Kālidāsa’s Ritusamhara, where Śiśira marks a distinct season.
As a modern given name it appears across northern and eastern India and Nepal, especially in Hindi, Bengali, Odia, and Marathi contexts, with mid-20th-century to present usage. Common spellings include Shishir Kumar (spaced), Shishirkumar, Shishir, Sishir, Sisir, and Shisir; Sisir is typical in Bengali orthography. Related names are Shishir alone and Hemant/Hemanta (another cool-season name). Bearers may use “Kumar” as a generational or honorific middle/surname, but in this fused form it functions as a single personal name; nicknames often shorten to Shishir or Sisir.
ShishirKumar is extremely rare. Across 3 countries, we found just 3 recorded uses of it.
