Thuban
தூபன்
Signature Meaning
Thuban is an evocative, modern-sounding name often associated with celestial imagery. The name is historically known as the star Thuban (Alpha Draconis) and is related to the Arabic word for “snake” or “serpent,” which can suggest quiet strength or mystery. In Tamil contexts it usually appears as a transliteration rather than a traditional Tamil-origin name. Many parents choose it for its short, distinctive sound and astronomical resonance.
