Ezhilarasan meaning
Ezhilarasan (எழிலரசன்) is a Tamil boy's name.
King of beauty: eḻil "beauty" + aracaṉ "king"
Also used to mean: handsome king
Ezhilarasan (எழிலரசன்) joins Tamil eḻil, "beauty, grace", with aracaṉ, "king". The Tamil Lexicon gives eḻil the senses of loveliness, youthfulness, a fine bearing and strength, and aracaṉ, traced to Sanskrit rājan, as a king or sovereign. Together the name means "king of beauty" or "handsome prince", much as name lists say. It belongs to a large family of Tamil names ending in -arasan, such as Anbarasan and Tamilarasan, and the shorter Ezhilarasu is used the same way. The girl's form is Ezhilarasi.
