What is the meaning of the name Siddharthan ?

The baby name Siddharthan is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sid-DHAR-than; IPA: /sɪdˈdɑːrθən/.

Siddharthan is Sanskrit in Origin.

Siddharthan is a South Indian/Tamil-Malayalam form of the Sanskrit name Siddhārtha, from siddha “accomplished” + artha “aim, purpose,” yielding the sense “one who has achieved his goal” or “one whose purpose is fulfilled.” The -an ending reflects Dravidian masculine morphology common in Tamil and Malayalam adaptations of Sanskrit names and does not alter the meaning. Related Pali form is Siddhattha.

Use spans Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain milieus: it is best known as the personal name of Gautama Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) and appears in Jain lore as the name of Mahāvīra’s father. In South India and Sri Lanka the -an form is longstanding, while global awareness grew through Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha. Variants and spellings include Siddharthan, Siddharth, Sidharth, Siddhartha, Siddharta, and Pali Siddhattha; short forms include Sid and Sidd.
