Vatsa Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The surname Vats or Vatsa comes from the Sanskrit word vatsa, meaning 'calf', 'young cow'. Several thousand years ago, when Aryan tribesmen settled in the Sapta-Sindhu region in India, they measured their wealth with their cattle. Usage of the word was extended to address one's child by Indo-Aryans along the lines we address our children as 'precious'. The word vatsalya, which means 'love a parent has for one's child', is derived from vatsa. The word vaasaru in Marathi is a variant of the Sanskrit term vatsa. Vaasudeva means 'Lord of the cows'. Vaasudeva was the foster parent of Lord Krishna.
