Subramaniam


Subramaniam, Subramanyam or Subramanian is a South Indian male given name. Due to the South Indian tradition of using patronymic surnames it may also be a surname for males and females. The etymology of the name is unknown; however, a common translation is "dear to Brahamam", or "of good deeds." An alternative proposed translation is derived from merging two common Sanskrit/Tamil words supri-ya, meaning "good" or "dear," and mani-ya, meaning jewel; the name translates loosely as "worthy jewel". Subramaniam is one of the many names of the Hindu god Murugan.
