Vendhar

Vendhar is a Tamil-language term that is used as both a given name and a surname within Tamil-speaking communities in India, Sri Lanka, and the Tamil diaspora. As a personal name, it appears among individuals across generations and regions where Tamil is spoken.

The exact etymology of Vendhar is not widely documented in accessible English-language sources, but, as with many Tamil names, it forms part of a broader tradition of meaningful, culturally resonant identifiers used in naming practices. In addition to its use as a name, Vendhar is also encountered as a brand or corporate name within Tamil-language media and entertainment contexts, reflecting the common practice of naming businesses with culturally salient terms.

Because Vendhar can refer to more than one subject, discussions about the term may require clarification to specify whether one means a person bearing the name or a business entity associated with the name. In reference works, it is common to treat such terms as multi-use entries, with separate articles or sections for individuals and for organizational uses when reliable sources are available.
