Two version
Version 1 :
The word Rudraksha is a combination of two Sanskrit words, 'Rudra (रुद्र)' which is the name of Lord Shiva and 'Aksha (अक्ष)' meaning Eyes. Thus, the meaning of Rudraksha in this context is the teardrops of 'Lord Shiva' which is also what our Puranic stories tell us.
Version 2:
‘Rudraksha’is derived from Tamil word’உருத்திராட்சமணி’ which means
1. Uru=Form,Shape 2. Thiratcha=Full 3. Mani=Ornament
