In Vedic tradition, a baby's name should begin with a syllable that resonates with their Janma Nakshatra — the Moon's position at birth.
27 Nakshatras — each has specific auspicious syllables (aksharas) assigned in ancient texts.
Namakarana — the Hindu naming ceremony performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth.
Starting a name with the right syllable is believed to bring harmony, health and prosperity to the child.
