Boy • Modern Tamil
Thenkumar
தென்குமார்
Signature Meaning
Thenkumar is a Tamil masculine name often interpreted as "southern prince" or "prince of the south." It likely pairs a Tamil element meaning "south" with "kumar," a common South Asian word for "prince" or "young man." Slight ambiguity exists because a similar-sounding Tamil word can mean "honey," so usage may vary by family or region.
