A little help finding a name you love

Naamkaran (नामकरण) means “naming” and is the traditional ceremony in which a baby is formally given a name. This site helps you explore Indian baby names, discover their meanings, and keep your favorites close. Auntie Ji, our fictional guide, brings the blessings — and a few opinions.

A meaning that speaks to you

Explore names by meaning, origin, or style. Every name guide cites the dictionary entry behind its meaning, usually on Wiktionary or in the Monier-Williams Sanskrit dictionary, so you can read the senses yourself. When no dictionary documents a spelling, the guide says so instead of repeating an internet gloss. Language and family traditions can shape how a name is understood.

Say it out loud

Listen to Auntie, try the name with your surname, and share it with family. Her generated voice is a guide; pronunciation and spelling can vary across languages and regions.

A little fun from Auntie

Open a blessing pack to let Auntie surprise you. Her predictions and rashi associations are for fun. A name cannot tell you a child’s future or birth rashi.
