Tamilselvi meaning
Tamilselvi (தமிழ்ச்செல்வி) is a Tamil girl's name.
Daughter of Tamil; Tamil's lady of fortune
Tamilselvi (தமிழ்ச்செல்வி) joins tamiḻ, the Tamil language, people and land, with celvi, which the Tamil Lexicon gives as Lakshmi the goddess of wealth, a wealthy woman, a lady of rank and a daughter. So the name can mean 'daughter of Tamil' or 'the lady whose fortune is Tamil'. It is a Tamil-pride name and the feminine of Tamilselvan.
