Anbu Selvam is Tamil in Origin.
Anbu Selvam is a Tamil compound given name formed from anbu (அன்பு, “love; kindness”) and selvam/selvan (செல்வம்/செல்வன், “wealth; prosperity; noble youth”), conveying “one rich in love” or “loving and prosperous.” It follows the classical Tamil style of virtue-plus-epithet names attested since Sangam literature, and remains popular in Tamil Nadu and among Tamil communities in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Singapore. The name is typically masculine, though Anbu itself is unisex.
Common spellings and variants include Anbuselvan, Anbuselvam, Anbu Selvan, and the older transliteration Anbu Chelvan; short forms are Anbu and Selva. Related feminine forms are Anbu Selvi or simply Selvi. The elements appear widely in modern culture and public life, so bearers often use initial-based patronymics alongside the given name. The combined meaning emphasizes affection as the truest wealth, a sentiment prized in Tamil ethics.
