Deccan

Southern charm has its appeal all over the world, and the boy's name, Deccan, is a rich example of this grace. This word comes from the anglicized Deccan Plateau, a region covering the south of India just below the Narmada River. This area showcases India's diverse wonders, featuring landmarks like Tirupati Venkateswara Temple, Bangaram Island, and Puducherry's Matrimandir, alongside its rich cuisine, culture, and unique geology. Deccan comes from the Prakit word dakkhiṇa, derived from the Sanskrit daksina, meaning "south." Baby Deccan may naturally gravitate towards the sunny comforts of the southern hemisphere, finding delight in the very place that inspired their name.
