Subramanyam Bharati Award
Subramaniam, Subrahmanyam, Subramanyam or Subramanian ( ta, சுப்பிரமணியம்; te, సుబ్రహ్మణ్యం) is a South Indian male given name. Due to the South Indian tradition of using patronymic surnames it may also be a surname for males and females. The etymology of the name is from Sanskrit; however, a common translation is "dear to Brahamam", or "of good deeds". An alternative proposed translation is derived from merging two common Sanskrit words ''supri-ya'' ( सु), meaning "good" or "dear," and ''man-ya'', meaning jewel; the name translates loosely as "worthy jewel". Subramaniam is one of the many names of the Hindu god Karthikeya, also known as Kumara or Murugan. In Telugu, Subrahmanyam or Subramanyam is the transliteration of the name (closer to the Sanskrit root word). Notable people Given name * A. L. Subramanian, Indian politician * Chidambaram Subramaniam (1910–2000), Indian politician * E. M. Subramaniam (1948-2015) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kartikeya ( sa, कार्त्तिकेय, Kārttikeya), also known as Skanda, Subrahmanya, Shanmukha (), and Murugan ( ta, முருகன்), is the Hindu god of war. He is the son of Parvati and Shiva, the brother of Ganesha and a god whose legends have many versions in Hinduism.
