Here are all 514 names in one alphabetical list, from Aadhira to Zhalak, so you can scan by first letter and shortlist the ones your family loves. Tap any name to see its origin, numerology and similar names on the Mylo baby name finder. Many Sanskrit names carry several meanings, so we show the most common ones; for the full root meaning of a Sanskrit word, the Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary is the standard scholarly reference.

In many Hindu families, the first syllable of the name is chosen from the baby’s birth nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon was in at birth). Each of the 27 nakshatras has four padas (quarters), and each pada has its own starting syllable, which gives 108 syllables in all. The syllables below follow the Drik Panchang nakshatra pada chart, and names are matched by their Hindi starting sound, not the English letter. Your family priest or a panchang can tell you the exact pada from the time and place of birth.

The names come from Mylo’s baby name database. We kept only girl names tagged as Hindu with an Indian or Sanskrit origin, removed duplicate spellings, boy names and names with unclear meanings, and shortened each meaning to its most common sense. Each name links to its full Mylo name page.
Saanvi, Kamala, Padma, Indira, Shriya, Vaishnavi, Bhargavi and Haripriya are among the names linked to Goddess Lakshmi. You will find more in the theme section above.
Ira, Uma, Isha, Diya, Anvi, Tara, Riya, Veda and Mira are short Hindu girl names that are easy to say in any language.
Yes, many Hindu families do, with names like Lakshmi, Durga, Gauri or Parvati. Some families prefer one of the goddess’s epithets instead, such as Saanvi or Padma for Lakshmi, or Ishani for Parvati. Both are common, so follow what feels right for your family.
Yes. Nakshatra naming is a tradition, not a legal requirement. Many families use the nakshatra syllable only for a ritual name and choose a different everyday name.
Yes. Under Section 14 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, a birth can be registered without a name and the name added later. In many states the name can be added free within 12 months, with a small fee after that, as explained in this Government of Nagaland notice on birth registration. Rules differ by state, so confirm with your municipal or panchayat registrar, and use exactly the same spelling on the birth certificate, Aadhaar, school records and passport.
Modern Hindu names tend to be shorter, with two or three syllables like Anvi, Ira or Navya, and are easy to pronounce in many languages. Traditional names are often longer, like Bhagyalakshmi or Padmavati. Both usually keep a Sanskrit meaning, so the choice is about sound and family preference.
