Secret Behind Akkineni Family Names

Everyone knows that Akkineni family names start with 'Naga'. Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna, Naga Suseela, Naga Chaitanya etc. Nagarjuna and his sister Naga Suseela recently during their interactions with the scribes shared the secret behind their names.

Nag said when his father ANR was in his grandmother's womb, she used to see a snake in her dreams. 

The snake is not a big one but a small one. After the birth of ANR, he was not named. During that time when grandmother was feeding ANR, she once again happened to see the small snake. So grand mother named him Nageswara Rao and late the same trend continued with Nagarjuna and Naga Suseela getting the names. 

Nagarjuna said he named his son as Chaitanya but at that time his mother told him clearly to include Nag infront of his name.
