What the grades mean
attested
The name is a word in Monier-Williams' Sanskrit dictionary, and the meaning is the dictionary's own.
compound
Two dictionary words joined; the meaning gives both halves.
regional
Not a Sanskrit word as it is written, but long given in Indian families: it is in the Indian electoral rolls. A Tamil or Malayalam form of a Sanskrit name says so, and takes that word's meaning.
modern coinage
Not a Sanskrit word and not in the rolls: a recent name, seen in US or UK birth registers.
