Naming a Baby According to Birth Star (Nakshatra)


Hindus believe in selecting a child’s name based on his or her ‘Nakshatra’ or birth star as calculated by a Vedic astrologer during the Namkaran or naming ceremony. In absence of a family astrologer, you can rely on astrology sites to ascertain the Nakshatra based on the child’s birth date, time, and place. If you know the birth star, you can use the following table to arrive at the first letters of your baby's name as recommended by Vedic astrologers and select a name by referring to my Baby Name Finder.
