Narasimhulu is Sanskrit, Telugu in Origin.

Narasimhulu (Telugu: నరసింహులు) is a Telugu theophoric masculine name derived from Sanskrit Narasimha - nara “man” + siṃha “lion” - the famed man‑lion avatāra of Vishnu. The Telugu ending ‑lu functions as a respectful plural/honorific, so Narasimhulu literally means “(the) Narasimhas,” conveying reverence rather than plurality; semantically it carries the sense of “the revered Man‑Lion, divine protector.”

In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana the name has long been favored among Vaishnava communities and families associated with temples such as Ahobilam and Simhachalam, spreading widely during the Bhakti era and remaining in steady use through the present. Related forms include Narasimha (pan‑Indian), Narasimharao (compound), Narasimhacharyulu (priestly honorific), and regional variants Narasingh/Narsingh (Hindi), Narsinh (Gujarati), Narasingan/Narasimhan (Tamil), and Narasingha (Odia). Short spellings like Narasimulu also occur. The name evokes strength, fearless protection, and the triumph of dharma over tyranny.
