In short
In Tamil, "biodata" is பயோடேட்டா — a one-page profile of a person's personal, family and education details. For marriage it is called திருமண பயோடேட்டா (thirumana biodata). The older Tamil term is ஜாதகம் (jathagam), which literally means "horoscope, birth chart" and is not interchangeable with a biodata.

What is a திருமண பயோடேட்டா?
பயோடேட்டா is the Tamil spelling of the English word "biodata", and it means what the English word means: a short written account of who someone is. In தமிழ்-speaking families it almost always refers to the one-page profile exchanged when a marriage is being arranged — திருமண பயோடேட்டா.
The part that causes confusion is ஜாதகம் (jathagam), which literally means "horoscope, birth chart". People searching for this often find the two words used near each other and assume they are synonyms. They are not, and the difference matters when a family asks you for one of them.

What பயோடேட்டா means in Tamil
பயோடேட்டா is a direct transliteration, so it carries no separate Tamil etymology — it is the English "biodata" written in தமிழ் script. What it refers to is a single page listing a person's personal details, education, occupation, family and contact information.
Where the marriage sense needs to be explicit, Tamil speakers say திருமண பயோடேட்டா (thirumana biodata).
- பயோடேட்டா — biodata
- திருமண பயோடேட்டா — marriage biodata
- பையனின் ஜாதகம் அனுப்புங்கள் — "send the boy's horoscope"
ஜாதகம் (jathagam) is not the same thing
In Tamil Nadu the ஜாதகம் is often the primary document, more so than in most other states — families exchange jathagams, an astrologer checks the ten poruthams, and a match that fails there may never reach the biodata stage. So "biodata" and "jathagam" name two different papers that travel together, and a family asking for your jathagam wants the chart, not the profile.
| Tamil term | Romanised | What it refers to |
|---|---|---|
| பயோடேட்டா | biodata | The one-page profile of a person |
| திருமண பயோடேட்டா | thirumana biodata | That profile, in the marriage sense specifically |
| ஜாதகம் | jathagam | Literally "horoscope, birth chart" — see above |
Biodata for marriage, or biodata for a job?
Tamil speakers use resume or CV for work. பயோடேட்டா is understood as the matrimonial profile.
The two documents overlap only in the name. A marriage biodata leads with family, community and often horoscope details and gives work a line or two. A job CV inverts that entirely and carries no family section at all — putting your father's occupation on a job application reads as odd, and leaving your family off a marriage biodata reads as evasive.
Making a Tamil biodata without fighting the font
The practical problem with typing a biodata in Tamil is not the words, it is the export. A Word file typed in தமிழ் renders correctly on your machine and can fall apart on someone else's if the script's font is missing — which is exactly the moment it matters, since the person opening it is the family deciding on the match.
