Description:
Velu: This surname is mainly found among Tamil people in South India. Its linked to several groups within the Tamil community, but figuring out the exact group just from the name is tough. "Velu" means spear, and "Thaga" is a regional name for the god Murugan, who often carries a spear. This suggests people with this surname might have worshipped Murugan. So, theres a strong link to Murugan worship, but knowing the precise group requires more digging.
