Some of the names are Vinayaga, Ganapathy, Vigneshwara, Pillayar, Lambodara, Ekadanta, etc. . . . . each of these names has a significant meaning and a story of explanation behind them.
Lord Ganesha’s initial name was Ekadanta meaning single tusk. It can be seen that the elephant head god has only one tusk and holding the broken tusk in his hand.

Ganapathy means the leader of the group of celestial semi-divine beings known as ganas. Vigneshwara is the name that means the main ideology of Lord Ganesha (vignam = obstacles) as the remover of obstacles. Lambadora is meant on his pot belly and he holds the entire universe in his big pot belly.
