<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Could it be that they are mostly the names of local gods, specifically the gramadevatas?
The reason I ask is: Potana calls himself Potharaju in the Bhagavatam. Even today, in Telangana, Potharaju is the name of a local God. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That could indeed be the case, but I think at that time these names must have been more widely used and later went out of use, Molla is another name, she wrote the famous Molla Ramayanam and her name is from the Molla flower, the name is not used anymore now.

I did not know Pothana called himself Potharaju, i always wondered when Potharaju worship originated in Telangana, certainly seems to be pretty old.

The reason I am asking about these is cuz i ain't a fan of current names used among Hindus, i want to be able to explain the name meanings if i use them in future, though I already picked some names that I like (but when i suggest them to people I know, they prefer to follow the trend).

anyway some of the names are:

1) Samarasimha
2) Indrasena
3) Pulideva (Puli is tiger in Telugu)
4) Ilasingham (name i made up, ila is earth in Telugu, singham is lion, so lion of earth)
5) Puliraju
