About Naming Tradition
In Vedic tradition, a child's name is chosen based on the Janma Nakshatra (birth star) — the nakshatra where the Moon was at the time of birth. Each nakshatra has 4 padas (quarters), and each pada has one or two traditional starting syllables.
The name beginning with these syllables is believed to resonate with the child's inner nature and support their life path through the vibration of sound (Nada Brahma).
The ceremony of naming is called Namakarana Samskara, traditionally performed on the 11th day after birth, guided by the family priest using the birth chart.
