Indian (Kerala Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from Sanskrit jaya ‘victory’ + rāma ‘pleasing charming’ (see Ram ) + 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.
