Nataarajan is a Hindu male name of South india, specially of Tamilnadu. It is a custom of India to name the babies (Male and female) with the various names of Gods or Goddesses. Similarly on of the name of Lord Shiva Nataraja is given to male as Natarajan. There are many famous persons in this name thoughout Tamilnadu. The name's meaning and origin are -

Nataraja (The King of Dance) is the dancing posture of Hindu god Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of divine duties of creation and destruction. The sculpture is usually made in bronze with the shiva deity lifting his left leg (and in rare cases, the right leg) and his right leg over a demon Apasmara who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well known scultptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture. The form in present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the main deity in the famous temple at Chidambaram.

Within Lord Shiva's dancing manifestation is represented not only all of time and space, but also the primal creative force that is beyond the circle of illusion that mortals live within, all movement and vibration of the universe, and the stillness beyond all existence.

The entire form of Nataraja can be seen to mirror the Hindu sacred syllable Aum, thus implying that Lord Shiva's dance of Destruction and Creation is contained within the existential principle of the Divine Sound.

The image of the Lord as the Cosmic Dancer is shown at the Chidambaram temple, an unusual fact as Shiva is depicted in an anthropomorphic form rather than in the typical non-anthropomorphic form of the linga.-
