Vedic numerology

Baby name suggestions.

Enter your child's birth date. We suggest names whose naamank harmonises with their mulank, drawn from classical Sanskrit and Indian roots. Free.

How this works

Mulank guides the name.

Every child carries a mulank, the root number reduced from the day of birth. The classical Indian tradition holds that a child grows easier into a name whose naamank vibrates in friendship with that mulank. We match across our corpus and surface the names that fit.

The starting letter filter follows the naamakshara convention: the first syllable of the name is traditionally drawn from the pada of the child's birth nakshatra. If you already know the nakshatra letter from your panchang, set it here. If not, leave it on Any.

About the names.

Names in our list come from common Sanskrit roots and contemporary Indian usage. Each one ships with the Devanagari script, an IAST transliteration so you know the pronunciation, and a one-line meaning so you know what you are giving the child.

We mark a name Strong when its naamank is friendly to the child's mulank in the classical planet table, Workable when the relationship is neutral. Names with friction are not shown.

Common questions

About vedic baby names.

Should we wait until we know the nakshatra to choose a name?

Many families do. The classical naamakshara letter is read off the nakshatra-pada at the time of birth. Our calculator works with or without that letter, so you can shortlist now and refine later.

What if the same name shows up under different mulanks?

A name's naamank is fixed, but its harmony with each mulank is different. A name that is Strong for a mulank-three child might be Workable for a mulank-five child. We compute the relationship for the date you enter.

Do nicknames carry the same vibration?

The name customers and family use most often is the one that vibrates strongest. If you plan to call the child by a short form, run that short form through the calculator too.

Can the calculator handle non-Sanskrit names?

Yes. Naamank works on any Roman-script name. The corpus is mostly Sanskrit and Indian, but the harmony engine is name-agnostic.
