Tamilarasan meaning
Tamilarasan (தமிழரசன்) is a Tamil boy's name.
King of Tamil; the sovereign of the Tamil land
Also used to mean: king of tamils
Tamilarasan (தமிழரசன்) means 'king of Tamil'. It joins tamiḻ, which the Tamil Lexicon gives first as sweetness and refinement and then as the Tamil language, its literature, its people and its country, with aracaṉ, a king or sovereign. The name can be read as a ruler of the Tamil land or as a master of the Tamil language, and it belongs to the wave of Tamil-pride names that spread with the twentieth-century Tamil revival, alongside Tamilselvan and the feminine Tamilarasi.
