When the pada syllable gives no name
The pada syllable is the classical choice. If no name with that sound feels right, the other three syllables of Shatabhisha come next, since all four belong to the same birth star. The widest net is the Moon sign: Aquarius names begin with G, S, D. Many families keep the nakshatra name for rituals and horoscope matching and use another name every day.
Questions about Shatabhisha nakshatra names
What letters are used for Shatabhisha nakshatra baby names?
Shatabhisha has four naming syllables, one for each pada: Go (गो) for pada 1, Sa (सा) for pada 2, Si (सी) for pada 3, Su (सू) for pada 4. The pada the Moon occupied at birth gives the syllable the name begins with.
How do I find the pada of my baby's Shatabhisha nakshatra?
The Moon crosses one pada in about six hours, so the birth time decides it. Enter the birth date, time and place in the Baby Name Calculator on this site and it names the nakshatra, the pada and the syllable.
Which Moon sign does Shatabhisha nakshatra belong to?
Shatabhisha lies in Aquarius. The Moon sign letters are Aquarius: G, S, D, and a family that names by rashi rather than by pada chooses from these.
Can I choose a name from another pada of Shatabhisha?
Yes. All four syllables belong to the same nakshatra, so a name from any pada of Shatabhisha still matches the birth star. The pada syllable is the first choice, the other three padas come next, and the Moon sign letters are the widest net.
How many Shatabhisha nakshatra names are on this page?
291 names with meanings: 134 for boys, 154 for girls and 3 for either. Common names come first in each list and the less common ones follow.
