it refers to a spinster when used as prefix. it means beloved daughter when used singly and as postfix. if you go for the literal meaning it means a person (selvan for male and selvi for female) who's endowed with wealth which is derived from the tamil word for wealth selvam.

the meaning of the tamil word selvi is an unmarried girl or woman. since miss jayalalita, the ex-chief minister of tamilnadu, is an unmarried woman so she is called selvi.
