The Nakshatras or planetsform a major element 'anga' of the Hindu Panchanga. all planets and shadowy planets occupy some position or bhav in our birth-chart and this way they really influence our lives. Janma Nakshatra is our identity in this birth. The first alphabet of baby name is decided by the Janma Nakshatra pada, rashi.You can also find baby name first letter by the Janma Nakshatra pada, rashi.
There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) and every Nakshatra measures 13.20' (13 degrees and 20 minutes) and Each Nakshatra is divided into 4 padas or charanas of 3.20' (3 degrees and 20 minutes). You can find the below first name lists that appropriate starting sound to name the child.
In astrology 27 nakshatras, each with 4 padas is calculated 27 x 4 = 108 Padas. This is the reason for 108 beads in the 'Japa Mala', representing all elements of Vishnu. Each part or pada has divided of the zodiac, starting with Aries sign. Therefore the Rasi (sign) is assigned with 30 degree each and totaling 12 houses to 360 degrees. So every sign is divided with two full stars and a quarter, each quarter having 3 degree 20 minutes; thus different 9 quarters equals to 30 degrees called one sign (house). Each pada represents a sign of the zodiac in a group of 3 Nakshatras.
