Boy • Modern Tamil
Velpala
வேல்பாலா
Signature Meaning
Velpala appears to be a compound beginning with "Vel", the Tamil word for "spear" and a symbol closely associated with the deity Murugan. The second element "pala" does not have a clear, widely attested meaning in Tamil, so the full origin is uncertain. Loosely, the name could be read as "of the spear" or "protected by the spear", but that interpretation is tentative.
