Ilavarasi meaning
Ilavarasi (இளவரசி) is a Tamil girl's name.
Princess; feminine of iḷavaracaṉ, crown prince
Ilavarasi (இளவரசி) is the Tamil for a princess. It is the feminine of iḷavaracaṉ, which the Tamil Lexicon of the University of Madras gives as a crown prince or heir-apparent, and also as a king who has not yet come of age. The word is a compound of iḷa-, young, and aracaṉ, king, so the feminine reads literally as "young queen", which is how Tamil says princess; its ending matches araci, queen. The feminine itself is not entered in the Lexicon, but it is the everyday Tamil word, and a Tamil television serial of that name is translated simply as "Princess". Name lists agree. A well-known bearer is the Tamil actress Ilavarasi.
