Chitra nakshatra baby names
By tradition a child is named from the syllable of its nakshatra pada. Find the pada the Moon stood in at birth, and take the name from there.
- 24 names
- Pe (पे) · Po (पो) · Ra (रा) · Ri (री)
Names are matched on the sound of the syllable rather than its exact spelling — the टा pada is named from Tanvi and Tanmay, which are spelled with त. That is how families and pandits read these tables.
