Word history
Wiktionary records వేదాంతము (vēdāntamu) as a Telugu surname. The entry explains a formation from Sanskrit vedānta with the Telugu ending -mu. Monier-Williams gives end of the Veda as the compound’s literal sense. వేదాంతము retains the ending in Telugu script. The word also has a history as a term for texts and philosophy, but its presence as a surname does not establish anyone’s philosophical position.
