✦ Vedic Moon Sign · Numerology
A baby's Rashi (moon sign) suggests an auspicious starting letter for their name. Naamastro pairs each Rashi's recommended letters with Chaldean numerology-compatible numbers — so you can shortlist names that honour the Rashi and carry a strong numerology vibration. Select your Rashi below.
What is Rashi naming?
Rashi (moon sign) naming is a Vedic tradition where the position of the Moon at birth places a baby in one of 12 Rashis, each with its own recommended starting letters for names. It is closely related to Nakshatra naming — every Nakshatra belongs to a specific Rashi.
What is the difference between Rashi and Nakshatra naming?
Nakshatra is more precise — there are 27 Nakshatras, each tied to specific syllables. Rashi is broader — 12 moon signs, each covering a wider range of starting letters. Many families use Nakshatra for the exact syllable and Rashi to cross-check the broader compatibility. See our full Nakshatra guide for the more precise system.
How does Rashi relate to numerology?
Each Rashi has compatible Chaldean numerology numbers alongside its recommended starting letters. Naamastro shows both on every Rashi page, so you can shortlist names that align with the Rashi's starting letter and carry a numerology number suited to that Rashi's energy.
