Palaniappan Name Details

The name Palaniappan is derived from the combination of two Sanskrit words, 'Palani' meaning 'son of Lord Muruga' and 'appan' meaning 'father' or 'god'. Lord Muruga, also known as Kartikeya, is a prominent deity in Hinduism and is considered the god of war. The name Palaniappan is often given to boys in South India, especially among Tamil-speaking communities, as a way to honor Lord Muruga and seek his blessings for the child's prosperity and well-being.
