About this catalog

This catalog holds 192 Indian baby names for boys and girls. Each one is shown with its Devanagari spelling, a meaning, its recorded language of origin and its rashi syllable, and each links to a guide that cites the dictionary entry behind the meaning and plays a spoken pronunciation.

The names come from Sanskrit, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Hebrew, and from modern coinages that have no dictionary entry at all. Where a popular meaning goes beyond what a dictionary documents, the guide says which meaning is popular and which is documented. Style labels such as traditional, modern and filmy describe how a name feels to Indian ears today; they are not claims about its history.

Use the search box to look up a name or a meaning, or filter by gender, first letter, style, origin and rashi. The collections below gather the most-asked-for cuts of the list on pages of their own, with notes on what those names share.
