Choosing the perfect name for your newborn is one of the most important and emotional decisions a parent makes. While some go by family traditions or popular trends, others turn to ancient wisdom—naming their child based on birth date and time using astrology. This practice, rooted in Vedic traditions, is believed to shape a child’s identity, destiny, and overall well-being.
According to Vedic astrology, every child is born under a unique planetary alignment. The date, time, and location of birth determine the child’s Janma Nakshatra (birth star) and Lagna (ascendant), which play a role in shaping personality, character, and life path.
To find the ideal name, astrologers typically follow these steps:
There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic astrology, and each is divided into four Padas (quarters). Your baby’s Nakshatra is calculated based on their exact time and date of birth.
Each Pada corresponds to a specific syllable. The first letter or sound of the name should ideally start with that syllable to ensure astrological alignment.
Example:
The ruling planet of the Nakshatra and the position of the Moon at birth influence the emotional and mental traits. Some names are chosen to balance planetary energies.
The Lagna helps determine the child’s physical and behavioral tendencies. Names aligned with the Lagna can enhance personal strength and stability.

Not mandatory, but many believe it brings harmony and positive vibrations to the child’s life.
Yes, but it's best to consult a trusted astrologer for accuracy. Some free tools give general suggestions based on Nakshatra and Rashi.
That's perfectly fine! You can choose to align the nickname or spiritual name to astrological recommendations.
Rashi is the zodiac sign based on the Moon at the time of birth. Like Nakshatra, it’s also used to determine syllables for naming.
