🕉️ Rashi & Nakshatra Name Generator

In Hindu tradition the first sound of a baby's name comes from the nakshatra (and its pada) the Moon was in at birth — the Namakshar. Choose the rashi, or the nakshatra and pada, and the generator lists real names that start with the right syllable.

Choose a rashi, or a nakshatra (and pada).

How it works

  1. Choose the rashi, or the nakshatra and pada from the baby's horoscope.
  2. Choose boy or girl and, if you like, a religion.
  3. Names are grouped by their starting syllable. Don't know the nakshatra? Use the date-of-birth name generator.

Frequently asked questions

How is a baby name chosen by rashi?

Each of the 27 nakshatras has four padas, and each pada has a syllable (for example Ashwini: Chu, Che, Cho, La). The baby's name starts with the syllable of the pada the Moon was in at birth. Nine padas make one rashi.

Which letters are for Mesh rashi?

Mesh (Aries) covers Ashwini, Bharani and the first pada of Krittika: Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo and A.

What if I only know the rashi?

Choose the rashi alone: you get names for all nine of its syllables. For the exact syllable, use the nakshatra and pada.

How accurate is the rashi of an English spelling?

The first syllable of an English spelling is matched to the traditional syllables; names starting with a vowel or with sounds like "Sh" or "Tr" follow the usual conventions. A priest or astrologer can confirm the exact Namakshar.
