Origin and Sanskrit script

Naming ceremony (Namakarana Samskara) note

In Hindu tradition the formal naming of a child is the Namakarana Samskara, performed on the 11th, 12th or 16th day after birth. The name is whispered three times into the baby's right ear by the father or family priest, while flowers and rice are offered to the family deity. Avirat fits this ceremony naturally — the Devanagari spelling अविरत preserves the correct sacred phonetics.
