Tamil names shown in Eelam inscriptions and coins:- Have Tamils been living in Eelam since historical times? Haven’t? An argument based on ethnic conflict has been going on for a long time.
One of the evidences presented in favor of the Tamils living in this island since ancient times is the Tamil names found in old inscriptions and coins.
Such Tamil names are listed and explained in the book `Pandaiya Ilankaiyil Tamilum Tamilarum` written by Professor Paramu Pushparatnam. Let us look at some of them.
Tamil names found in Eelam inscriptions:-
* Vael
* Marugan
* Poothan
* Poothi
* Vael Poothan (Picture 1)
* Mallan
* Thisan
* Kumanan
* Uthiyan
* Kudumpikan
Tamil names found in Eelam coins:-
– Uthiyan
– Chaaththan
– Parathan Thisan ( Paratha Tisa, Picture 2, see the fish symbol)
Fortunately, since our ancestors kept Tamil names, we can confirm our ancient existence to date. If a study is conducted in the future only with the names given in Eelam today, think about what the situation will be!
Tamil! Name in Tamil
