Theophoric and honorific, it is a devotional male name across South India, especially among Telugu- and Kannada-speaking communities, and aligns with temple dedications to Suryanarayana Swamy.

In practice, Suryanarayana is the given name, while Murthy can be either a suffix meaning "incarnation" or a hereditary surname; in diaspora formats, Murthy often becomes the family name. Variants and spellings include Suryanarayana, Surya Narayana, Suryanarayan, Suryanarayanamurthy, Surya Narayanamurthy, Narayana Murthy, Murti, and Moorthy; short forms include Surya, Suri, and Narayan. Usage rose in the late 19th-20th centuries with revivalist interest in Sanskritic names and remains familiar though less common today, conveying piety, radiance, and auspicious authority.
