Shravana Nakshatra Baby Names for Boys and Girls
A child born with the Moon in Shravana nakshatra takes a name that begins with Khi, Khu, Khe or Kho, one syllable for each pada. This page lists 8 names with their meanings: 5 for boys, 3 for girls.
Shravana children learn by listening and keep what they hear. Names of Vishnu, of learning and of the Moon suit them. The four Kh syllables give short lists, so most families choose from the Capricorn letters or the Kh names below.
| Lord | Moon |
|---|---|
| Deity | Vishnu |
| Symbol | three footprints, or an ear |
| Moon sign | Capricorn |
| Naming syllables | Khi (खी) for pada 1; Khu (खू) for pada 2; Khe (खे) for pada 3; Kho (खो) for pada 4 |

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 Shravana come next, since all four belong to the same birth star. The widest net is the Moon sign: Capricorn names begin with Bh, J, Kh, G. Many families keep the nakshatra name for rituals and horoscope matching and use another name every day.
Questions about Shravana nakshatra names
What letters are used for Shravana nakshatra baby names?
Shravana has four naming syllables, one for each pada: Khi (खी) for pada 1, Khu (खू) for pada 2, Khe (खे) for pada 3, Kho (खो) 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 Shravana 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 Shravana nakshatra belong to?
Shravana lies in Capricorn. The Moon sign letters are Capricorn: Bh, J, Kh, G, and a family that names by rashi rather than by pada chooses from these.
Can I choose a name from another pada of Shravana?
Yes. Khi and Kho give almost no Sanskrit names, so a family whose child was born in those padas takes a name from another pada of Shravana or from the Moon sign letters. All four syllables belong to the same nakshatra, so the name still matches the birth star.
How many Shravana nakshatra names are on this page?
8 names with meanings: 5 for boys, 3 for girls. Common names come first in each list and the less common ones follow.
