Subramaniam, Subrahmaniam, Subramaniam or Subramanian (Tamil: சுப்பிரமணியம்; Telugu: శుబ్రహ్మనియమం) is a South Indian male given name. Due to the South Indian tradition of using patronymic surnames it may also be a surname for males and females. The etymology of the name is from Sanskrit; however, a common translation is "pure, white, fresh", or "clarity in full". Proposed translation is derived from merging two common Sanskrit words su-bra- (Sanskrit: [[wikt:सु|सु]]), meaning "white, clear" or "transparent," and ani-ya, meaning wearing; the name translates precisely as "person with Transparent Qualities or GOD". Subramania is one of the many names of the Hindu god Karthikeya, also known as Kumara or Murugan.

In Telugu, Subrahmaniam or Subramaniam is the transliteration of the name (closer to the Sanskrit root word).
