Arulanandam meaning
Arulanandam (அருளானந்தம்) is a Tamil boy's name.
Bliss of grace: aruḷ "grace" + āṉantam "supreme bliss"
Arulanandam (அருளானந்தம்) joins Tamil aruḷ, "grace, mercy", with āṉantam, which the Tamil Lexicon takes from Sanskrit ānanda and defines as supreme happiness, the bliss of union with God. The name means "the bliss of grace" or "joy that comes from divine grace". It is used by both Hindu and Christian Tamil families, including Tamil Catholics in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, where it also appears as a surname through the patronymic custom. Sri Lankan Tamils often spell it Arulanantham.
