Barse: The Marathi Naming Ceremony (बारसे)

In most Marathi homes, the baby is named at the barse, held on the twelfth day after birth. The baby is laid in a decorated cradle (पाळणा), and the father’s sister, the aatya (आत्या), whispers the chosen name into the baby’s ear, often with a playful “kurrr”. The women of the family then sing palna songs, and the name is announced to everyone. Some families also write the name on a plate of rice. You can read more about the Hindu namakarana tradition here.

How to Choose a Marathi Name for Your Baby

Start with the rashi letter, if your family follows it. Use the table above to find the right starting letters.
Say it in Marathi and in English. Names like Rushikesh and Rutuja are written ऋ in Marathi but spelled “Ru” in English. Pick the spelling you want on the birth certificate and use it on every document.
Think about the full name. Marathi names are said with the father’s name and surname, as in Saee Sachin Kulkarni. Say the whole name out loud before you decide.
Honour the family, if you like. Many families pick a name from the kuldevata (Khandoba, Tulja Bhavani, Ambabai) or the Varkari saints.
Ask the aatya. She traditionally names the baby at the barse, so involve her early.
