Boy • Modern Tamil
Nilakedhir
நிலாகெதிர்
Signature Meaning
Nilakedhir is a Tamil name that appears to evoke the moon. The first element "nila" commonly means "moon," and the latter part may imply "facing" or "opposite," so the name is often taken to mean something like "one who faces the moon" or "moon-facing." This interpretation is tentative rather than definitive.
