Ilavarasan meaning
Ilavarasan (இளவரசன்) is a Tamil boy's name.
Crown prince, heir apparent; a young king
Ilavarasan (இளவரசன்) is the Tamil word for a prince. The Tamil Lexicon defines iḷavaracaṉ as the heir apparent, the yuvarāja, and also as a king who rules while still young. It is made from iḷa-, "young", and aracaṉ, "king", so name lists give "prince" or "young king", matching the dictionary. The same word gave the title of the 1992 Tamil film Ilavarasan. Elavarasan is another spelling of the same name, and the girl's form is Ilavarasi, "princess".
