Welcome. You will find here a large collection of unique Indian baby names. When there are already many websites for such information, why do we need one more?

Indian culture is often described as mosaic, because of the tremendous cultural and linguistic diversity that she posseses. For example, India has about 15 official languages, and an estimated 850 languages in daily use - no wonder she is referred to as Sub-Continent! It would be impossible for anybody to capture all the facets of this large country or its culture. So, here's our humble attempt to list some unique names from Indian culture, especially those that likely originated from Tamil language.

Being a rich language with a literary tradition spanning a few thousand years, Tamil has enriched and benefitted from many other languages. As a result, there exists no concrete boundary between Tamil and other Indian languages, especially its linguistic siblings Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, Tulu, etc and its linguistic cousins Bengali, Gujarathi, Hindi, Sanskrit, etc. Our attempt thereby uses etymological analysis to determine names that we believe originated from Tamil, but in many cases used outside the realm of Tamil. This is by no means an easy or accurate task.

Your suggestions are welcome!
