Anbarasan meaning
Anbarasan (அன்பரசன்) is a Tamil boy's name.
King of love: aṉpu "love" + aracaṉ "king"
Anbarasan (அன்பரசன்) joins two Tamil words. Aṉpu is the everyday word for love, and the Tamil Lexicon extends it to friendship, compassion and devotion. Aracaṉ means a king or sovereign; the Lexicon traces it to Sanskrit rājan and notes the same word in Kannada and Malayalam. Put together, the name reads "king of love", which is also how name lists give it, so the popular and dictionary meanings agree. The form Anbarasu, ending in aracu, "king, kingship", is used in the same way. The DMK politician T. M. Anbarasan carries the name.
