Vivekanandan is an Indian name that is mostly used in South India (mainly, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) as a variant of the name Vivekananda. The name originates from two Sanskrit-based words Vivekam meaning wisdom or knowledge and Anandam meaning joy; therefore, the name Vivekanandan denotes a person who finds joy in wisdom or knowledge.
