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.

MW is Monier-Williams, A Sanskrit-English Dictionary (1899), by page and column; Apte is The Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary (1890), by page. Where a name is not a Sanskrit word, its Devanagari is worked out from the English spelling.
