Frequently asked questions
What is namakshar?
Namakshar is the auspicious first syllable for a name, taken from the pada (quarter) of the nakshatra the Moon was in at birth. Each of the 27 nakshatras has four padas, giving 108 syllables.
How do I find my baby's nakshatra?
Enter the date, exact time and place of birth in the finder above. The Moon's position at that moment gives the nakshatra and pada, and from it the syllable.
