Rajkummar

Rajkummar is a male given name of Indian origin. It is formed from two elements of Sanskrit heritage: raj, meaning “king,” and kumar (or kumār), meaning “son” or “boy.” The concatenated spelling Rajkummar is one contemporary variant of the name, while Raj Kumar or Rajkumar are common separate spellings in many records. The name is used primarily in Hindi-speaking regions and among the Indian diaspora.

As a given name, Rajkummar is most often used for boys; it is not typically a family surname. It is encountered across various Indian communities, reflecting naming practices that draw on royal or aspirational imagery. The use of a compound name with regal connotations is common in many Indian naming traditions.

A notable bearer is Rajkummar Rao, an Indian actor known for work in Hindi cinema and for leading performances in films such as Shahid, Queen, and Newton. The name has gained visibility in popular culture through his public profile, contributing to its recognition among contemporary Indian names.
