Ramachandran Family History

Ramachandran Surname Meaning

Indian (Kerala Tamil Nadu): from a personal name composed of Rama (name of one of the chief incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu; see Ram) + Sanskrit čandra ‘pleasant shining; moon’ (see Chandra) + 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.
