Anbucselvam is a Tamil compound name formed from anbu (love, compassion) and selvam/selvan (prosperity; a prosperous youth). The phrase evokes “one whose wealth is love” and, by extension, a kind, fortunate man. Anbu is an ancient Tamil virtue-term celebrated in Sangam poetry, while Selvam/Selvan appears widely in medieval and modern Tamil usage; together they fit the long tradition of meaningful, aspirational Tamil given names. The name is used mostly among Tamil speakers in South India and the diaspora of Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Spelling varies with transliteration of the letter ச: common forms include Anbuselvam, Anbucselvam, Anbu Selvam, Anbuselvan, and Anbuchelvan/Anbu Chelvan. Feminine counterparts are Anbuselvi or Anbu Selvi. Related short forms and nicknames include Anbu and Selva. The compound gained steady 20th‑century usage and remains appreciated for its gentle, value-centered meaning and clear Tamil linguistic roots.
