"Kannan" - Re: One information

From the Bhakti List Archives

Jagadish Devarajan • March 7, 2003

I believed that Kannan stood for Kaar Vannan meaning someone who's skin
color is that of the color of clouds which is black.  In Tamil literature
clouds are usually mentioned for their darkness( Kaar Mugil).

Shyam Sundar, Kannan ... I see a relation.

Maybe I am not right.
