Balakrishnan Family History
Balakrishnan Name Meaning
Indian (Kerala and Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from Sanskrit bālakrṣṇa ‘child Krishna’ (from bāla ‘child’ + krṣṇa ‘Krishna’ the name of an incarnation of the god Vishnu meaning ‘black’) + the Tamil-Malayalam third-person masculine singular suffix -n. — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
