Baby Names by Zodiac Sign — What Name Suits Your Baby?

In Vedic astrology, a baby's birth star and Rashi (moon sign) guide the first letter of the name — parents traditionally choose a name starting with a syllable from the child's nakshatra. For parents who simply love zodiac themes, matching a name to a sun sign is a fun and meaningful way to narrow the list. Below are all twelve signs with a short personality sketch and real names whose traditional Rashi matches, each with its meaning and origin.

How we matched the names: every name below has been assigned a Vedic Rashi from its starting syllable, and each Rashi corresponds to a zodiac sign. You can refine any of these lists further in the generator by choosing the matching rashi in the Rashi filter.
