In Vedic tradition, a child's name is chosen based on the Nakshatra (birth star) the Moon occupied at the time of birth. Each Nakshatra has specific starting syllables (Aksharas) that are considered auspicious. A name beginning with these syllables is believed to resonate with the child's cosmic energy.
The Nakshatra-based naming ceremony is called Namakarana — one of the 16 sacred Samskaras (life rituals) in Hindu tradition. It is typically performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth.
