Frequently Asked Questions

How are these Hindu baby names organised?

Names are grouped into 30+ divine categories — by deity (Shiv, Ram, Krishna, Durga, Lakshmi and more), by sacred sources (Ramayana, Mahabharata, rivers, mountains, tirthas), and by theme (modern & short, nature, Navgraha). You can also browse every name in one A–Z list under "All Baby Names", or filter by your child's Janma Rashi (Moon Sign).

Are the meanings authentic?

Yes. Each name carries its traditional Sanskrit-rooted meaning, drawn from the deity, scripture, or nature element it is inspired by. Where a name has several shades of meaning, we give the most widely accepted one.

How do I pick a name by Janma Rashi (Moon Sign)?

In Vedic Jyotish, a child's first name traditionally begins with the Charan Akshara (starting syllable) of their Janma Rashi — the Moon Sign at birth. Open "Find by Janma Rashi", select the Rashi, and you will see names beginning with its traditional syllables.

Are these names for boys or girls?

Both. Every name is tagged boy, girl, or unisex, and each category page has a gender filter so you can show only boy names, only girl names, or all of them.

Is the baby names section free to use?

Yes, completely free. Browse, search, and filter thousands of names with their meanings at no cost — no sign-up needed.
