Neelotpalavalli definitely means blue water lily. But the word is clearly tamil.
ul - of water
ulai - water set over fire for boiling rice
ularthu - to dry
ulari - a water fish
ulankalam - vessel to store water
ullolam - large wave
ulliyar - persons skilled in determining suitable places for digging wells
ulgu - duty (on imports)
palam, palaasam, pannam - leaf
ul + palam = water leaf = lily.
Neelam = blue
valli is a very common word in tamil - maravalli, peruvalli, irathavalli, iraasavalli, karpooravalli, kaattukkaaivalli, thaamaraivalli, kappalvalli, sarkaraivalli ... the list is endless.
neelam + ul + palam + valli = neelorpalavalli (neelotpalavalli)

Niila is not an Indo-Euro term.
Niila forms part of the word niilOtpalam.
If you take the view that Sans arose from Dravidian base as did PaavaaNar and Sw.Nyanapragasam of Nallur, then it was just a concoction from Dravidian lexical base. It may have a claim on words specially made for itself and grammatically and linguistically incompatible with other Dravidian languages including Tamil. But it is proven that Sans had indiscriminately taken Dravidian and Munda roots to form words.
Even in the 2nd view, niilam is Tamil.
But an explanation has to be found for the existence in Sans for many Indo-Euro words and other linguistic elements, since 1/3 of its lexical base is Indo-Euro. One explanation may be that Sans borrowed those words from the west as has already been suggested by those historians who reject the AIT and AMT.
A reasonable conclusion is that Sans is a hybrid invention for liturgical purposes for the priesthood of India.
What does this word mean?
(1) "Sharadhambal" ,
(2) "Sringeri"
I know Sharadha is goddess saraswathi but what is the exact meaning of this name sharadambal?
Hi Friends,
One of my Uncle's (from Tirunelveli) father name is Isaaki-Appan, I heard its one of the names of Lord Shiva.
This name is something unheard to me and looks like a Middle eastern Name Issac to me.
Can anyone tell me more about this word and its root.
Thanks
It is not isaaaki. It is isakki-appan. isakki is from tamil iyakki-appan / iyakki-amman - one who drives the world.Quote:

is there no meaning of Sharada in tamil?
oh! I should have guessed. you give tamil meaning only after you get the Real Samskrith meanings from me(because this way, it becomes easier to convert some part of the Samskrith meaning and present it in tamil clothing).
anyways, Viggop, Shringeri is the corrupted form of Shringa-Giri, which means the mountain of the deers.
Sharadamba means, `the mother with a Lotus-like Face`.
and both are Samskrith.
Shuddha Sanskrit scholars insist it comes from Sanskrit "Sharada" meaning autumn, which produces "Shaarada" meaning "white lotus" (or "cloud") which produces "Shaaradaa" meaning Saraswati ("one who has a face like a white lotus", or "white cloud"). Thani Tamil scholars insist it comes from Tamil "cAru", meaning "beautiful", which produces "cAratam" meaning "melodious" and "cAratA" or "cAratai" (Saraswati).Quote:
