Meaning and origin of Aadharsh
Aadharsh is a South Indian spelling of Adarsh, from the Sanskrit adarsha, which originally meant a mirror and came to mean an ideal or model to follow. The doubled vowel and the 'dh' reflect how Tamil and Malayalam speakers often romanise the name. The idea behind it is a person whose conduct others can look to as an example. Older lists sometimes give 'sun' as a meaning, but that does not come from the word itself.
