thongale Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 how did Jayvardhan become jayawardene?? And if they wanna resemble sanskrit, Why dont you guys go for a proper 'varunah' instead of 'varuna' ? and what abt 'Chamara Kapugedera' ?? what sort of a ridiculous name is that?? :D As mentioned earlier, I dont hate you guys, just find a alot of things uncool abt lankan cricket...Jayawardane is spelt in may ways, decided on the caste system that is redundant now in SL. Jayawardene, Jayawardana, Jayawardane, Jayawardhana are all written similar in Sinhalese. And the original term for "grow" is Wardhana", not "Vardhan" as seen in Hindid. growing with the victory is Jayawardhana. How it is spelt in English is immaterial because it is spelt same in Sinhalese.

thongale Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 And on the Chamara Kapu gedara business, Chamara - Fan (look up the Sanskrit dictionary and you'll be shocked to find the exact word) Kapugedara - comes out from the profession. Kapu is cotton in Sinhalese, Gedara is house. Their ancestors must have done some job with cotton. Likein Tamil, Sinhalese used to write the surname first, so it would looked like Kapugedarage Chamara, that is Chamara of the people who do the cotton jobs. Having said that there are some Hindi names much more ridiculous than that. We see them a lot in Hindi movies.
Square Drive Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Nice, a Sanskrit lesson in a cricket forum. :hysterical::hysterical: But to me, Chamara has a different meaning than what thongale suggest. It comprised of two syllables 'Cha-Mara'. Here 'Cha' means four-times, and 'Mara' means kill. So basically it suggests to kill the person who has this name four times. Especially the cricketers who have this name. :mad:
