Thirukkol – திருக்கோள்

Thirukkol likely combines two Tamil elements: 'thiru', an honorific meaning sacred or respected, and 'kol', a word that can mean staff, rod, or symbol of authority. Taken together it suggests the idea of a 'sacred staff' or 'divine scepter', evoking dignity, leadership, or protection. This interpretation is based on common word meanings rather than a confirmed historical source.
