About the name Khushbu

Khushbu arrives through Persian and Urdu rather than Sanskrit, a reminder of how porous western Indian vocabulary has always been. It carries a cheerful, slightly filmy energy that separates it from the more austere Sanskrit choices around it.

Khushbu is a girl name of Gujarati origin, pronounced KHUSH-boo. On the NameRarity scale it scores 90 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
