Arumugathasan as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Arumugathasan

What is the meaning of the name Arumugathasan ?

The baby name Arumugathasan is a Male name and is pronounced ah-roo-moo-gah-thah-sahn (approx. IPA: /aɾumugaːt̪aːsən/).

Arumugathasan is Sanskrit, Tamil in Origin.

Arumugathasan is a Tamil masculine given name built from Arumugam (aru ‘six’ + mugam ‘face’) - a major epithet of the Hindu deity Murugan - and the devotional suffix -dasan/-thasan, ‘servant’ or ‘devotee’ (from Sanskrit dāsa). The full sense is “devotee of Arumugam/Murugan,” evoking Saivite piety and the six-faced iconography of the god.

The name appears across Tamil-speaking communities in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, and in the diaspora of Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond. It gained currency in the late 19th–20th centuries with the proliferation of theophoric compound names among Saiva Siddhanta adherents, and, under Tamil patronymic customs, may also function as a hereditary surname. Common Romanized variants include Arumugadasan, Arumugathasan, Arumugathas, and Arumugadas; shorter forms such as Thasan/Dasan or the standalone Arumugam occur in everyday use. Related feminine formations are rarer but may appear as Arumugadāsi/Arumugadasi.
