Sivathasan is Tamil in Origin.
Sivathasan is a Tamil theophoric male name built from Siva (Shiva), the Hindu deity, and thasan/dasan, from Sanskrit dāsa ‘servant, devotee’. It therefore means ‘devotee of Shiva’ or ‘servant of the Auspicious One,’ with the final -n marking masculine in Tamil. The Siva element ultimately comes from Sanskrit śiva ‘auspicious, benevolent,’ widely reflected in South Asian onomastics.
The name appears in Shaivite communities of South India and Sri Lanka, shaped by Bhakti-era devotional naming and maintained into the present, including in the Tamil diaspora (Malaysia, Singapore, Europe, North America). Common variants arise from transliteration: Sivadasan, Shivadasan, Sivathasan/Shivathasan, Sivadas, Sivathas; shorter call-names include Siva/Shiva and Thasan. In Tamil patronymic systems, Sivathasan may also function as a surname, indicating descent from a father named Sivathasan.
Sivathasan is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 11 times, across 4 countries.
