Subramanian Family History

Subramanian Surname Meaning

Indian (Kerala Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from Sanskrit subrahmaṇya ‘dear to Brahmins’ (an epithet of the god Kartikeya son of Shiva) + 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.
