Palanivelrajan is Tamil in Origin.

Palanivelrajan is a Tamil masculine compound formed from Palanivel and Rajan. Palanivel joins Palani (Tamil: Pazhani), site of a major Murugan shrine, with vel 'spear', an epithet glossed as "the spear-bearing Murugan of Palani." Rajan, from Sanskrit rajan 'king', in Tamil names connotes a kingly or noble quality. Together the name expresses royal devotion to Murugan of Palani.

Used mainly among Tamil speakers of South India, Sri Lanka, and diaspora communities in Malaysia and Singapore, it reflects the long Shaivite tradition of theonymic compounds. The style grew especially common in the 19th-20th centuries and today may be written as one word or spaced as Palanivel Rajan. Variant spellings include Palani Velrajan, Pazhanivelrajan, and Palanivelu Rajan; familiar short forms are Palani, Vel/Velu, Raja, and Rajan. The name typically functions as a two-part given name and may be combined with a patronymic initial.
