Shivramanna is Indian in Origin.

Shivramanna is a South Indian masculine name formed from Sanskrit Śiva + Rāma with the Kannada/Marathi honorific -anna (“elder brother,” a respectful masculine suffix). The compound evokes both major Hindu deities, yielding the sense “revered Shiva–Rama” or “one devoted to Shiva and Rama,” and also draws on śiva’s root meaning “auspicious.”

The base compound appears in Sanskrit as Śivārāma; during the Bhakti era and later in Kannada and Marathi naming, it became common as Shivaram/Shivram, to which -anna was added as a colloquial honorific that fossilized into a formal given name, especially in Karnataka and adjoining Maharashtra. Variants and spellings include Shivaramanna, Shivaram, Shivarama, Shivram, Sivaram (Tamil/Malayalam transliteration), and Sivaraman/Shivaraman (Tamilized form). Nicknames include Shivu and Ramanna. The name remains traditional, most common among Kannada speakers, and symbolizes harmony between Shaivism and Vaishnavism.
