is it possible to convert modern indian names to patronymics and matronymics without simply adding putra and putri at the end of the names like how it was possible to do with ancient indian names?
ancient examples:
son of vallabha > vāllabheya daughter of kātyāyana > kātyāyanī son of pāndu > pāndava son of kunti > kaunteya daughter of parvata > pārvati daughter of drupada > draupadi
are such matronymics and patronynics possible to construct from modern indian names without simply adding putra or putri at the end of the parents' names?
