Vetriselvan meaning
Vetriselvan (வெற்றிச்செல்வன்) is a Tamil boy's name.
Son of victory; one rich in victory
Vetriselvan (வெற்றிச்செல்வன்) joins veṟṟi, victory or success, with celvaṉ, which the Tamil Lexicon gives as a wealthy man, a lord and a son. The name reads 'son of victory' or 'one whose wealth is victory'. Like Tamilselvan and Arulselvan it follows a Tamil pattern in which -selvan, 'beloved son', is joined to a quality parents hope for. The feminine counterpart is Vetriselvi.
