Alagarswami is Tamil in Origin.

Alagarswami is a Tamil masculine given name combining Alagar/Azhagar (“the beautiful one,” from Tamil āzhagu ‘beauty’) with Swami (from Sanskrit svāmin, “lord, master”). In devotional usage it denotes Vishnu as the Beautiful Lord, especially the form worshipped at Azhagar Kovil near Madurai, also called Kallazhagar or Sundararaja Perumal. Thus the name carries the sense “Beautiful Lord” or “Lord of Beauty.”

Use has been strongest in southern Tamil Nadu, where families name sons after the deity associated with the Chithirai festival, when Kallazhagar enters the Vaigai River. Spellings vary with transliteration: Azhagarsamy, Azhagarswamy, Alagarsamy, Alagarswamy, Alagar Swami, Azhagar Swami. Related or cognate epithets include Kallazhagar and Sanskritized Sundararaja; modern secular variants sometimes appear as Sundararajan or Alagar. Diminutives such as Alagar and Swami are common in address. The name functions both as a personal name and, traditionally, as a theophoric honorific.
