How do you pronounce it?

rājkumār

Did you know?

  • The component ਰਾਜ is the root for many English words related to power, such as 'regal' or 'royal', because both languages draw from distant Indo-European structures for the concept of rule.
  • The word ਰਾਜ in ਰਾਜਕੁਮਾਰ refers to rule or kingdom, but in modern Punjabi, it is also the root for words meaning 'secret' or 'mystery', such as ਰਾਜ਼.
  • While ਰਾਜਕੁਮਾਰ is the formal term for a royal prince, the word ਕੁਮਾਰ is often used as a common name or a suffix for many boys in India, regardless of royal status.
