If any one from Japan or any Japanese speaking people are there please tell me what is the meaning of these three word's..because it is something thats in my mind from the day i stated to watch naruto..

My mother tongue is [GLOW] "Tamil" [/GLOW] one of the anicient language of the world..!
In Tamil the word "gan" Sharin"gan" Rinne"gan" Byaku"gan"
It means "eyes"...literally "eyes"
Thats why am so curious to know the meaning for those word's in Japanese.!! can anyone help me with it..?

I think he was looking for a different answer. Remember when Tobirama made the statement "the eye that reflects feelings: that is the sharingan".......

I think OP is looking for something along those lines for the other two eyes. Even I don't think Tobirama was making that statement to give a translation for the word sharingan

It would actually mean different things depending on the context. In this case, it's kanji would translate to "eyeballs", since you're talking about the ocular powers. I'm not a Japanese speaker; but I am looking up for the best answer I can give you.

Using Narutopedia
Sharingan: (literal) "Copy Wheel Eye", (Viz Media) "Mirror Wheel Eye" Tobirama defined it as "the eye that reflects feelings" It didn't say it this was a translation. it said it was his definition
Byakugan: (literal) "White Eye", (Viz) "All Seeing White Eye"
Rinnegan: (literal) Saṃsāra Eye, that's all it had

And "samsara" is a sanskrit word...

Gan has different meanings actually...

Kanji translates into an eye,a way of seeing, judging, or understanding something. i think it depends upon the prefix, because if gan means only eye then how would you define Rasengan whose kanji translation is spiral sphere?. i guess it all depends upon the prefix being used with it.
