Thiagarajan Surname Meaning

Indian (Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from Tamil thanga ‘golden’ + Sanskrit rāja ‘king’ (an epithet of the god Vishnu) + 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.
