Signature Meaning
Kathivel is a Tamil name that includes 'vel', the sacred spear of the god Murugan, and thus suggests protection, bravery, and divine power. The initial element 'kathi' can be understood in different ways in Tamil (for example, blade or related to brightness), so the full name often evokes a protective or radiant spear. The exact historical origin is uncertain.
