How Baby Names Are Suggested by Nakshatra

In Vedic tradition, a child's name is chosen based on the Janma Nakshatra — the Moon's birth star at the time of birth. The 27 Nakshatras are each divided into 4 Padas (quarters), giving 108 unique starting syllables. The Hindu naming ceremony (Namkaran Sanskar) traditionally takes place on the 11th day after birth, when the family priest consults the Panchang and birth chart to select the auspicious syllable.
