Marathi people, like many other cultures in India, often follow traditional, religious, and cultural practices when naming their baby girls . Here are some common practices and considerations:
1. Religious and Astrological Considerations:
Astrology: Many Marathi families consult astrologers to determine an auspicious letter or syllable for the baby’s name based on her birth chart (Janam Kundali).
Nakshatra: The moon’s position at the time of birth, which determines the baby’s Nakshatra (lunar mansion), is often considered. Each Nakshatra has specific syllables associated with it, which are used to start the baby’s name.
Hindu Gods and Goddesses: Names of Hindu deities like Lakshmi, Parvati, Saraswati, and Durga are popular. These names are believed to bring blessings and positive qualities associated with the deity.
