Rajagopal Family History
Rajagopal Name Meaning
Indian (southern states): from a personal name based on Sanskrit rājagopāla ‘king of cowherds’ from rāja ‘king’ + gopāla ‘cowherd’. This is an epithet of the Hindu god Krishna who is said to have been brought up among cowherds. Among Tamil and Malayalam speakers who have migrated from their home states it is a variant of Rajagopalan . — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
