Analyzing the etymon of names is an interesting endeavour. Some names that have been around for centuries will have different (often conflicting) root meanings, thanks to the cleverness of humans!!
Dr.M. Balamuralikrishna has christened a new raga Jaya Jaya Lalithe in honour of Tamil Nadu Chief minister Jayalalithaa.
The Chief minister conferred the title Gandharva Gana Samrat on him, and expressed wish to be born as his disciple if there was another birth. "I would like to learn Carnatic music under his tutelage and become such a great singer that my Guru will say 'sabhash' after hearing me sing," she said.
Note: What is the arohanam and avarohanam of this raga? Do let me know.

The Telegraph reported as above. You also find a different version here. Kutcheribuzz reports as follows (emphasize mine):
The maestro composed and dedicated a new ragam to the Chief Minister with the pallavi "Jaya jaya lalithe..."!
The Hindu also reported like Kutcheribuzz.

....and 4000 years later people might think it this way....
"Once upon a time in Tamil Nadu there was a great princess called Jayalalitha who was a very capable, wise and had strong inclination for music...and a great singer in those days Balamurali Krishna sang praises of her even had a raagam in her name..."
for all you know what I said might happen ;) !!
History is not necessarily truth right !
