Hinduism is the world’s third-largest religion. With countless deities, customs, and tales surrounding it, it’s full of namespiration if you want to honor your faith with your daughter’s name. Hindu girl names are as diverse as they are stunning, ranging from well-known wows in the U.S. to ultra-rare gems. These mighty monikers can be word-based, like Dharma and Nirvana, or deities like Parvati and Lakshmi. This makes finding a name a joyous experience.
Some of the most stunning and strong Hindu girl names relate to goddesses. The precious Priti is a standout among them. Meaning “love,” she’s aptly the goddess of affection in Hinduism. Radha is another fantastic choice, connected to the mother goddess. Also appearing as the goddess of love in the faith, her meaning is “success.” The goddesses come in many forms, too, with Tara being the goddess of felicity, while Kali is a more sinister force linked to war and destruction. Other amazing Hindu goddess names include Ambika and Mara.
Other Hindu girl names come from customs of the faith and terms. While these are great for practicing members of the faith, they’re not recommended if you simply like their sound, as they are sacred. Remember to always be respectful in your naming journey. Arti is a perfect example. Connected to a welcoming ritual of hymns for deities and spirits, she’s a friendly face. Chakra is another option. These bodily points are one’s focus during meditation. Shakti is an especially powerful pick here, as she’s related to a feminine cosmic force.
Another amazing way to find Hindu girl names is to study their meanings. Nyra‘s meaning is “beauty of goddess Saraswati.” This deity is the faith’s goddess of knowledge, which isn’t a bad association at all. Another option is Shivani, meaning “follower of Shiva.” This is one of the main gods in the religion. You might like Devi, too, the Sanskrit word for “goddess.” See Mahari, Ganesa, and Karuka for more incredible meanings.
