Anbu Chelvan is Tamil in Origin.

Anbu Chelvan is a compound Tamil masculine given name (Tamil: அன்புச்செல்வன்). It fuses anbu, the Tamil word for love, affection, and benevolence, with chelvan/selvan, an honorific meaning prosperous or noble young man. The combined sense is “one rich in love,” often understood as a loving, virtuous gentleman or youth. The elements are native Dravidian, and the name suits both secular and devotional contexts that prize compassion alongside good fortune and character.

In use across Tamil-speaking communities of India, Sri Lanka, and the diaspora, it appears in both standalone and patronymic-based naming. Common variants and spellings include Anbuselvan, Anbu Selvan, and Anbuchelvan; short forms are Anbu and Selvan. A feminine counterpart is Anbu Selvi (செல்வி, maiden). Related meaning-forward names built on the same roots include Selvan and Anbumani. Pronunciation guidance: AHN-boo CHEL-vuhn.
