Selecting the right name for your child is an exciting moment for any parent. In Hindu tradition names are more than only words, they carry the power of meaning, energy and even the future. One of the most ancient and effective methods to name a child is making use of the science of astrology–more specifically, selecting Baby Names Based on Date of Birth
Let’s see the ways Vedic Astrology can help you choose the perfect name for your baby.
Why Baby Names Based on Date of Birth?
According to Hindu astrology, the baby’s Janam Kundli (birth chart) is created by using:
-
Date of Birth
-
Time of Birth
-
Place of Birth
Astrologers use this to make calculations:
-
Moon Sign (Rashi)
-
Nakshatra (Birth Star)
-
Charan (Pada)
Every Nakshatra Charan can be linked to particular syllables, or sounds. These sounds are believed to be to be a blessing for babies and believed to bring luck in health, prosperity, and joy in your life.
How Baby Names Are Decided Using Nakshatra
The number of Nakshatras is 27,27 Nakshatras and each one is comprised of four pads (quarters). Based on the child’s Nakshatra as well as pada astrologists suggest the initial letter of the baby’s name.
Here are some examples:
| Nakshatra | Pada | Suggested Letters |
|---|---|---|
| Ashwini | 1st | Chu |
| Rohini | 2nd | Ri |
| Mrigashira | 3rd | Vi |
| Pushya | 4th | Ho |
| Anuradha | 2nd | Na |
Let’s say that your child is brought up in Rohini Nakshatra 2nd pada The name should be preferably beginning by a “Ri”.
