Subramaniam or Subramanian (Tamil: சுப்பிரமணியம்; Telugu: సుబ్రహ్మణ్యం) is a given name for a male South Indians. Due the South Indian tradition of using patronymic surnames it may also be a surname for males and females. The name is derived from merging two common Sanskrit/Tamil words supri-ya (सु), meaning "good" or "dear," and mani-ya, meaning jewel; the name translates loosely as "worthy jewel". Other mistranslations such as "dear to brahmins" are widespread. Subramaniam is one of the many names of the Hindu god Murugan.
