What is the naming lunar mansion and why is it important for baby naming?

Naming by lunar mansion is the Vedic tradition of naming a baby based on the Moon's lunar mansion and quarter at birth. Each quarter has a specific syllable that the baby's name should start with, believed to create harmonious vibrations for well-being.

How do I find the correct naming syllable for my baby?

Enter the baby's date, time and place of birth. The calculator determines the Moon's position, finds the lunar mansion and quarter, and shows the recommended naming syllable in English and Hindi.

Can I use any of the four lunar-mansion quarter syllables for naming?

Traditionally the specific quarter syllable is preferred. However, if the exact birth time is uncertain, any of the four syllables of the lunar mansion can be used.

When should the Namkaran naming ceremony be performed?

The Namkaran Sanskar is traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth, though some families choose the 21st day or a later auspicious date.
