In Vedic tradition, a baby's name should begin with a syllable (akshara) that resonates with their Janma Nakshatra — the Moon's star at birth.
27 Nakshatras, each with 4 padas and specific auspicious starting sounds assigned in ancient texts.
Namakarana — the naming ceremony, traditionally on the 11th or 12th day after birth.
Starting with the right syllable brings harmony, health and prosperity to the child throughout life.
