Balasubramaniam

Balasubramaniam or Balasubramanian (; ; ; ) is a male given name in South India and Sri Lanka. Due to the South Indian tradition of using patronymic surnames it may also be a surname for males and females. Balasubramaniam is derived from the Sanskrit words ''balu'' meaning "young" and Subramaniam (itself derived from the Sanskrit words ''su'', meaning "auspicious" and ''brahmanyam'', translated loosely as "auspicious effulgence of the Supreme Spirit"). By extension, it refers to the Hindu god Murugan as a child or young man, the way the term Balakrishna refers to the young Krishna.

In Telugu, the name is written as Balasubrahmanyam or Balasubramanyam, closer to the Sanskrit root word. In Kannada, the name is transliterated as Balasubrahmanya or Balasubramanya. Provided by Wikipedia
