Hindu girl names starting with V — meaning, Sanskrit origin, popularity and pronunciation.
Consider the meaning and its Sanskrit or regional root, the deity or scriptural association, the child's janma nakshatra (birth star) and rashi (moon sign), ease of pronunciation across cultures, and your family tradition. A good name is auspicious, meaningful and easy for the child to carry through life.
In traditional practice the first syllable of a baby's name is chosen from the pada (quarter) of the birth nakshatra. For example, Ashwini nakshatra suggests names beginning with Chu, Che, Cho or La. HinduTone lists suitable name syllables and names for all 27 nakshatras.
Rashi is the moon sign at the time of birth. Some families choose the name's first syllable by rashi rather than by nakshatra — both are traditional and valid. You can browse names for each of the 12 rashis in the HinduTone name index.
Many are Sanskrit-rooted, but Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi and other regional traditions contribute countless beautiful names too. What matters is a meaningful, auspicious sense — HinduTone lists names with their meaning and origin so you can choose with confidence.
HinduTone lists thousands of boy and girl names A–Z, each with its meaning, Sanskrit root and nakshatra/rashi fit. Browse by starting letter, by nakshatra, or by rashi to find a name that suits your child's birth details and your family's tradition.
