Venkataraman Surname Meaning
Indian (southern states): from a personal name derived from the name Venkata (see Venkat) + Sanskrit 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.
