Pure Tamil Baby Names for Girls

Pure Tamil Baby Names for Girls Sangam Tamil Names for Girls – Most of these names are from Sangam Tamil words – Many ancient Tamil words have more than one meaning. Most Tamils today don’t have Tamil names because of our religions. Many scholars have said that Thiru is not Tamil. It is the Sanskrit Shri, that has been adapted to Tamil. It should be a matter of pride to have a Tamil name. Here are some ancient words. There are many names here which sound modern, but have ancient roots. Search

Please go to www.learnsangamtamil.com, and see Sangam Tamil poems with easy urai in Tamil and English. Browse and see whether you find any words that can be used as names. None of the Akam poems (over 75% of Sangam literature is Akam) in Sangam have any names of the heroine or hero. That’s the convention. The poets wanted people at all ages to feel that they are part of the poems, and hence no names. However, we lost out on names. They can reference kings and other poets by names. Names of poets in Sangam usually have the names of their towns, and are descriptive of their professions etc. In Puram, we have the king’s names which are again very long because of the descriptive adjectives before and after the original name. This (in the manner that I have listed) is the closest with can get with using these ancient words as names. We need to use ancient Tamil words and coin modern names. If you analyze other language names, they are also just ‘words’ in the language – which eventually become accepted names. We use northern language words like ‘Priya’, which is very much like the Tamil ‘Anbu’. We are not used to using such sweet Tamil words. We need to change that with pride. Our language is one of the oldest languages in the world. There are very few languages with incredible literature from 2 thousand years ago. Names like Mala, Maya (that which doe not die or end) and Akila (Akil wood – eaglewood) can be shown with Tamil roots. However, the fact that they also have Sanskrit meanings (quite different from the Tamil meanings, no relation to the Tamil words), it is best to avoid them and go for clearly obvious Tamil names.

I hope we take pride in giving Tamil names to our children. Has anybody heard of the beautiful Tamil name Selvi or Kayalvizhi given to babies in northern India? Why do we take their names? My friend Dr. Rukmani has done a fabulous, 192 page Kolam book. Every Tamil women will be proud to own a copy. If interested, please contact her at [email protected]. Also, it is available at the Connemara Library complex, along with other Sangam books written by me – Vaidehi Herbert. It is a large book – 11 inches by 8.5 inches.
