Swati 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
- Ru (रू) · Re (रे) · Ro (रो) · Ta (ता)
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.
