About male keralite names
How male keralite names are built
A Keralite result stacks two given-style names rather than a given name and a hereditary surname. The male template draws both slots from the same 228-entry bank, while the female template places a name from the 544-entry female bank ahead of one from the 228-entry bank, producing pulls like Jeswin Manikandan, Arun Ouseph and Lakshmiamma Sujith.
Jeswin Manikandan
Jeswin (shared 228-entry bank) + Manikandan (same bank, second slot)
Lakshmiamma Sujith
Lakshmiamma (female bank) + Sujith (shared bank, second slot)
Arun Ouseph
Arun (shared 228-entry bank) + Ouseph (same bank, second slot)
Naming notes
The male pattern reuses one 228-entry bank for both slots, so a male result reads as two given-style names rather than name-plus-surname. The female pattern fronts the larger 544-entry bank before that shared 228-entry bank. Region is given as a label only: the set is tagged for Kerala.
