Signature Meaning
Nandu is a short, affectionate personal name used in Tamil-speaking communities and elsewhere in South India. It is often encountered as a familiar or diminutive form of longer names such as Nandan. In some regional languages the word “nandu” also means “crab,” though that common-noun sense may be separate from its use as a given name. The precise origin and original meaning in Tamil are not firmly established.
