With underscore:

const subject = ['Tamil', 'English', 'Math'];

const out = _.map(subject, el => ({ name: el }));

console.log(out);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.13.4/underscore-min.js"></script>

Native JS using map:

const subject = ['Tamil', 'English', 'Math'];

const out = subject.map(el => ({ name: el }));

console.log(out);

Thanks!! Perfect answer for my question. I thought it can't be done using Native JavaScript. But if it is possible in Native Javascript, then it is the best to use I feel. So, accepted the above answer.

You can use Native JavaScript's Array.prototype.map() at this context,

var subject = ["Tamil", "English", "Math"];
subject = subject.map(function(itm){
  return {"name" : itm };
});
