Mesha Rashi (Sanskrit for Aries) is one of the twelve zodiac signs in Vedic astrology — formed by gathering 2¼ nakshatras into a single 30° arc of the celestial sky. In Hindu naming convention, parents whose newborn is born under Mesha traditionally choose a name beginning with one of its auspicious first syllables, especially when the precise pada within the nakshatra is uncertain.
