Baby girl names, by syllable
Grouped by starting syllable, with meanings and a note on how each name reads in Hindi and English.
Using the syllable filter
Find the rashi or nakshatra syllable first, then browse only that group. It is a much shorter list than the whole catalogue, which is the point.
What to check before deciding
- Pronunciation in the languages your family uses daily.
- The spelling that will appear on documents — keep it simple.
- Whether the meaning is one you are happy to explain to the child later.
- How it combines with the surname and any middle name.
A note on variation
Many names appear in several regional forms. Where the difference is only spelling, they are grouped together so you can choose the form that fits your family.
Questions people ask

Can I use a name from another community?
Names travel between communities constantly. Check the meaning and pronunciation, and use what fits your family.
