Yuvraj

Boy name · 17 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Yuvraj: 17 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2008.

Yuvraj is a name with Sanskrit roots, combining *yuva* (young) and *raj* (king) to mean "young prince" or "heir apparent." It is most familiar in the English-speaking world through Yuvraj Singh, the celebrated Indian cricketer who famously hit six sixes in an over and battled cancer before returning to the sport. Another notable bearer is the Punjabi singer and actor Yuvraj Hans. While no major places are directly named after Yuvraj, the title has been historically used for crown princes in Indian royal courts. A common choice among Sikh and Hindu families, the name carries a strong sense of royalty and youthful promise, and remains especially popular in the Scottish Indian diaspora.
