Adiyen belongs to Bharadwaja gothram, Sama Vedam (Drahyayana sutram), Vadakalai sect, a disciple of Srisannidhi; our sampradaya people add Kidambi, Nadadur, Nallan Chakravarti and Setlur, etc. as a prefix or surname. What adiyen has enquired on this is, that these surnames denote the Vedam, Gothram, and Sutram. Kidambi denotes they belong to Athreya gothram, Yajur Vedam, and Apasthambha sutram; similarly can you please suggest the relevant prefix or surname for adiyen, have already mentioned my gothram, vedam and sutram. Adiyen’s native is Kumbhakonam and our family deity is Lord Oppilliappan. Can adiyen add Setlur which is my maternal side’s name if there are no relevant prefixes to adiyen’s?

Kidambi, Nallan Chakravarthi not only denotes their gothram or sutram but also the lineage they belong to; please find out the title that is related to your family side. Refer to a 30-year-old wedding invitation of your family, refer to your invitation or your father’s side invitation, it shall certainly bear the title name that you can add to your name.
It is a practice to add the name of paternal lineage.
