Baby Names Meaning River

River names carry the spiritual significance of India's sacred waterways — the Ganga (purifier), the Saraswati (wisdom), the Kaveri (prosperity), and the Narmada (bliss). Rivers in the Indian worldview are mothers, not merely geographic features. A river-name is a blessing of constant flow, abundance, and the cleansing of karmic debts.
