Biju

}} Biju (Malayalam: ബിജു) is a popular male name in India, especially in Bengal, Orissa, Kerala, Bangladesh, and India, where the name means "second son".

''Biju'' is derived from the similar rhyming name ''Viju''. It is highly likely that ''Viju'' is an affectionate version of the name ''Vijaya'', which means ''Victory'' in Sanskrit and several Indian languages. It has a similar meaning in Chinese as well. Biju is associated with Arjuna, the great warrior hero of the Mahabharatha.

In Kerala, the name Biju is used by all communities: Hindus, Christians, and Muslims, and thus is a secular name, although many have added suffixes which indicate their caste or community.

This name also may have derived from the French word "bijou" (pronounced "bizhu"), meaning "jewel." Provided by Wikipedia
