Malaravan

Malaravan is a Tamil given name, predominantly used for males. It is a compound word derived from two Tamil roots: Malar and Avan.

• Malar (மலர்): Means "flower" or "blossom" in Tamil.
• Avan (அவன்): Is a common Tamil masculine pronoun, meaning "he" or "him". It can also denote a possessor or one who has something.

Therefore, Malaravan can be interpreted as "one who possesses flowers," "he of the flower," or metaphorically, "a person who is like a flower" - implying qualities like beauty, freshness, or fragrance. The name carries a positive connotation, often associated with gentleness, charm, and auspiciousness. The name is commonly used in Tamil Nadu, India, and among the Tamil diaspora. The exact historical origin and first recorded use of the name are difficult to pinpoint, but its components are rooted in ancient Tamil literature and language.
