Marathi has a long tradition of poetry and devotion, from the ovis sung at the grinding stone to the abhangs of the Varkari saints. Many girl names come straight from that world: Ovi is a verse form, Swara and Swarali are musical notes, Aboli, Jui and Shewanti are flowers from Marathi courtyards, and Godavari and Indrayani are the rivers of Maharashtra. Soft sounds like “ee” and “ali” at the end of names such as Sayali, Mitali and Vrushali give them their gentle, musical feel.
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 linked to the kuldevi, such as Tulja Bhavani, Ambabai, Renuka or Ekvira.
Pet names at home. Little girls are lovingly called Chiu, Pillu, Sonu or Baby at home, alongside the formal name.
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 Swara Sachin Kulkarni. Say the whole name out loud before you decide.
Check the English spelling. Names like Mrunmayi and Mrinmayi, or Rutuja and Rituja, have several spellings. Pick one and use it on the birth certificate, Aadhaar and school forms.
Think about the meaning. A name your daughter is proud to explain, such as Gargi or Tejaswini, is a gift she will carry all her life.
Ask the aatya. She traditionally names the baby at the barse, so involve her early.
