Meanings and history of the name Kumar

It depends on the language. I've been told that it means "unwed bachelor" or "prince" in some Indian language. I've also heard that it means "moon" in Arabic, but I would double check this to be certain.

Yes, it is translated from Sanskrit as "boy" or "prince" (and as such is a part of many other names).
