Word history
Wiktionary records వేదము (vēdamu) as a Telugu surname. The entry explains the Telugu form as Sanskrit veda with the ending -mu. It explicitly gives knowledge and lore among the Sanskrit noun’s senses. Monier-Williams supplies the knowledge sense independently. వేదము shows the full Telugu ending, while Vedam is a shorter Latin form. The word’s lexical history does not establish anyone’s reading or learning.
