Hindu Baby Names & Meanings

Choosing your baby's name is one of the most beautiful parts of waiting 🤍
"Hindu Baby Names" brings together 25,000+ Hindu and Indian baby names for boys and girls, each with its meaning, in a light app that works without internet.

Hindu baby names with meanings
• 15,000+ boy names, 9,600+ girl names and 300+ names for both
• A clear meaning for every name: Aarav "peaceful, calm and wise", Diya "lamp, light"
• Other spellings shown and searchable: Aadhya or Aadya, Saanvi or Sanvi, Lakshmi or Laxmi, Ishaan or Ishan

Rashi, nakshatra and numerology
At the naming ceremony (Namakaran), many families choose a name that starts with the syllable of the baby's birth star.
• On 23,900+ names, the page shows the rashi and, on 16,400+, the nakshatra that go with the name's first syllable. Example: Aarav, Mesha (Aries), Krittika
• Every name shows its numerology number
• Got a starting syllable from your pandit? Type it, like "La" or "Vi", and names that start with it come first
The rashi and nakshatra here come from the name's spelling, as in naming lists. Your child's own birth star comes from the birth chart.
