Boy • Modern Tamil
Kathirvelu
கதிர்வேலு
Signature Meaning
Kathirvelu (கதிர்வேலு) likely combines kathir, meaning “ray” or “radiance,” with Velu, a common Tamil name element associated with the Vel (Lord Murugan’s spear). The name therefore evokes brightness, strength and protection — a radiant or shining guardian. Exact use and nuance can vary by family or region.
