Meaning and origin of Aananthan
Aananthan is a Tamil form of the Sanskrit Ananta, 'without end' or 'infinite', with the Tamil masculine ending -an. Ananta is a name of Vishnu and of the divine serpent Shesha on whom Vishnu rests. The spelling with 'aa' can blur it with Anandan ('joyful one'), which is why older lists sometimes mix the two meanings; Ananthan itself means infinite.
