Sanskrit Baby Names

Congratulations on having a new little soul join your family! Picking a name can be really difficult because you’re looking for a name to give to a person you haven’t met yet. With the responsibility of picking a lifelong title it can be a bit of a heady task. But if you’re in need of traditional names, Sanskrit baby girl and baby boy names are the perfect place to start....
The Sanskrit language is one of the oldest in human history. This language is at the pinnacle of traditionalism and can allow you and baby to connect with your Indo-Aryan roots. A Sanskrit baby name gives you the opportunity to pay homage to some deeply rooted ancestry and giving baby a beautiful, unique name simultaneously.
Sanskrit names for girls like Uma and Veda are time-honored names with definitions that make them even more dazzling. Uma means splendor or tranquility and Veda means knowledge or wisdom. By picking a Sanskrit baby name you’re opening up the doors for baby to start off life with a substantial history to take inspiration from. Sanskrit boy names like Aditya, meaning ‘the sun’, and Jahan, meaning ‘the world’, have thousands of years to show for making a powerful name.
Whether you’re honoring your homeland by picking a Sanskrit baby name or you want to aid the language in staying alive, you will end up with an uncommon name for baby that will be sure to turn a few heads.

If you have roots in India or strong Hindu traditions in your family, consider choosing a Sanskrit baby name. Choosing a Sanskrit name traditionally involves a naming ceremony called a namkaran in Hindu families, and the names of children are chosen via Vedic astrology. Typically, traditional boys’ Sanskrit names have an even number of letters, while girls’ Sanskrit names have an odd number of letters. However, an 11 letter name is considered good luck for either gender. Explore Sanskrit baby names like Aruna or Lakshmi for a girl, or Ravi or Sanjay for a boy. No matter what Sanskrit name you choose for baby, you’re sure to feel a strong connection to Hindu culture.
