Hope all of you are well !
So today I'll teach about tamil honorifics,
திரு ( Thiru ) can be easily found as a honorific prefix to adult males in tamil nadu , in english it can be translated as '' MR '' . The Another meaning for திரு is '' Holy '' or '' Sacred '' used in hindu gods and goddesses name,such as : திருமால் ( Thirumaal ) - MahaVishnu and திருமகள் ( Thirumakal ) - Lakshmi.
திரு can be seen in the start of many city names,such as : Thirunelveli, Thirupathi ,Thiruvannamalai...the list is countless.
செல்வி / Selvi stand for miss and செல்வன் / Selvan for master but used only for unmarried people.
Any doubts? Please comment!
Thanks . நன்றி !!
