Rengan

Rengan is a proper noun used primarily as a masculine given name in South Asian communities, particularly among Tamil speakers. It is also found as a surname in some cases and among people of Tamil heritage living abroad. The name is most commonly encountered in India, Sri Lanka, and within the Tamil diaspora in Europe and North America.

In onomastic usage, Rengan is often part of compound names such as Renganathan or Renganarayanan, though standalone forms are also in use. Related names include Rangan and Ranganath, which share linguistic roots with the name and reflect common Tamil and broader Indian naming patterns.

In culture and fiction, Rengan appears as the name of characters in novels, films, and television series that depict Tamil or South Asian settings. Because it is a regional name, references may be more common in South Asian media and communities than in broader international contexts.
