Choose an auspicious and meaningful name for your baby using the principles of Vedic astrology and numerology. Our Vedic Baby Name Generator determines your child’s birth Nakshatra (lunar constellation) and recommends names that begin with astrologically favorable syllables, aligned with their unique cosmic configuration.

Disclaimer: This tool is intended for educational and informational use only. Nakshatra calculations are performed using simplified astronomical methods and may differ from professional Vedic astrology software. Name suggestions are based on traditional syllable associations. For important life decisions, consult a qualified Vedic astrologer (Jyotishi). Numerology compatibility scores are indicative and derived from general principles.

Understanding Nakshatra-Based Naming

In Vedic tradition, a child’s name is selected according to their Nakshatra, which is determined by the Moon’s position at the time of birth. There are 27 Nakshatras, and each one is associated with specific starting syllables. Naming a child using these syllables is traditionally believed to:

Harmonize the child’s identity with their cosmic energies
Encourage balance, prosperity, and positive life outcomes
Strengthen beneficial planetary influences in the birth chart
Foster a deeper spiritual and cultural connection
