'''Viswanathan''' ({{lang-ta|விசுவநாதன்|translit=Vicuvanātaṉ}}; {{lang-ml|വിശ്വനാഥൻ|translit=Viśvanāthan}}) is a male [[given name]] in [[South India]] and [[Sri Lanka]]. Due to the [[Indian name#South Indian names|South Indian tradition]] of using [[patronymic surname]]s it may also be a [[surname]] for males and females. It is of [[Hindu]] origin and derives from ''višvanatha'', meaning "lord of the universe" (from ''višva'', "universe" + ''natha'', "lord," an [[epithet]] of the god [[Shiva]]), + the Tamil-Malayalam third-person masculine singular suffix -n.
