Venkaiah
Meaning
“Venkateswara's name carried on the grandparent-era Telugu suffix -aiah, an honorific meaning father or elder (as in the former Indian vice-president Venkaiah Naidu); with its siblings ending in -aiah and -ulu it marks the generation born before the 1950s and is rarely given to babies now, which makes it a truthful marker of how Telugu naming has shifted”
