Biju

 Biju (Malayalam: ബിജു) is a popular male name in India, especially in 

  1. Bengal, 
  2. Orissa, 
  3. Kerala, and 
  4. Bangladesh.

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 

  1. Victory in Sanskrit and several Indian languages. 
  2. 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: 

  1. Hindus
  2. Christians, and 
  3. Muslims, and thus is a secular name
