Mariadoss meaning
Mariadoss (மரியதாஸ்) is a Christian and Tamil boy's name.
Servant of Mary: Maria + dāsa 'servant'
Mariadoss joins Mariya, the Tamil form of the Virgin Mary's name, to dās, from Sanskrit dāsa, which Monier-Williams defines as "slave, servant" and notes is used at the end of personal names. It follows the old Indian way of naming a child as the devoted servant of a holy figure, as in Ramdas or Haridas, and applies it to Mary, so it means "servant of Mary". The name is used mainly by Tamil Catholics, who also spell it Mariadas or Mariyadas.
