Sivakumar Family History

Indian (southern states): from a personal name based on Sanskrit Śivakumāra ‘son of (the god) Shiva’. Śivakumāra is one of the major Hindu gods especially in South India and is also known as Kumāra (see Kumar) and Kārtikeya (see Karthikeyan).

— Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
