Barse: How Marathi Families Name a Baby Boy (बारसे)
In most Marathi homes, the baby is named at the barse, held on the twelfth day after birth.
The palna. The baby is laid in a decorated cradle (पाळणा), and the women of the family sing palna songs.
The aatya names the baby. The father’s sister, the aatya (आत्या), whispers the chosen name into the baby’s ear, often with a playful “kurrr”, and then announces it to everyone. You can read more about the Hindu namakarana ceremony here.
The family deity. Many families choose a name from the kuldevata, such as Khandoba, Vitthal or one of the Ashtavinayak forms of Ganpati.
Pet names at home. Little boys are lovingly called Babu, Pillu, Sonu or Chhotu at home, alongside the formal name.
How to Choose a Marathi Name for Your Baby Boy
Start with the rashi letter, if your family follows it. Use the table above to find the right starting letters.
Say it with the full name. Marathi names are said with the father’s name and surname, as in Vedant Sachin Kulkarni. Say the whole name out loud before you decide.
Check the English spelling. Names like Rushikesh and Hrishikesh, or Dnyanesh and Gyanesh, have several spellings. Pick one and use it on the birth certificate, Aadhaar and school forms.
Honour your faith and family. A name from your kuldevata, a Varkari saint or a Maratha hero keeps the family’s roots alive.
Ask the aatya. She traditionally names the baby at the barse, so involve her early.
