Not a complete answer, but Tamil tradition, either in India, nor in Sri Lanka, uses last names. The various pieces are usually a dynastic name, Father's name, Village name, , title/subcaste marker (which sometimes used to mark occupation as well), etc. in addition to the personal name which can be multiple words and which usually comes last. I don't know enough Tamil to parse this example for you.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions_of_ancient_Tamil_country, and especially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_family_names#Tamil_names (which takes a rather extreme stance of not expanding initials, this aspect of the page is ahistorical. Traditionally, especially written in Tamil, there were no initials.
