About this collection

The boy names in this catalog run from names that appear in the Mahabharata and the Vedas, such as Arjun, Aditya and Agastya, to spellings that only became common in the last twenty years, such as Aarav, Vihaan and Reyansh. Between those poles sit the names Indian families have used for generations: Vikram, Rohan, Nikhil, Karan and Rahul.

The list is not limited to Sanskrit. It includes Arabic-origin names such as Muhammad, Ahmed, Hamza and Ibrahim, Punjabi Sikh names such as Gurpreet and Arshdeep, Tamil names such as Aadhavan and Kavin, and Daniel, which Indian Christian families have used for a long time. A few names, such as Jashandeep, are used for boys and girls alike and appear in both lists.

Every name links to a guide that shows the dictionary headword behind it, notes where the popular meaning goes beyond what the source supports, and plays a spoken pronunciation. Say the name with your surname before you decide; a two-syllable name and a four-syllable surname sound different together than either does alone.
