Krishnan Surname Meaning
Indian (Kerala Tamil Nadu): from a personal name derived from Sanskrit krṣṇa ‘black dark’ (see Krishna) + 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.
