Arockiaraj meaning
Arockiaraj (ஆரோக்கியராஜ்) is a Tamil and Christian boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Tamil usage).
King of good health: ārōkkiyam "sound health" + rājā "king"
Arockiaraj (ஆரோக்கியராஜ்) joins ārōkkiyam, which the Tamil Lexicon takes from Sanskrit ārogya and defines as freedom from disease, sound health, with rājā, "king". It is used by Tamil Catholics, because Mary is venerated as Ārōkkiya Mātā, Our Lady of Good Health, at the basilica of Velankanni on the Tamil coast, a major pilgrimage centre. Families who pray there often give a son Arockiaraj or Arokiasamy and a daughter Arockia Mary. The name reads "king of good health", and it is spelled in several ways, such as Arokiaraj.
