Mayilvagan
மயில்வாகன்
Signature Meaning
Mayilvagan (மயில்வாகன்) is a Tamil masculine name built around mayil — the Tamil word for peacock. The second element appears to evoke movement or bearing, so the combined name commonly suggests someone associated with the peacock, implying grace, beauty and a proud presence. Many interpretations therefore emphasize the peacock’s symbolic qualities rather than a single definitive literal meaning.
