How to Use the Name Letter Chart

Say your name aloud and note its first syllable, for example Che in Chetan, Ra in Rahul or Mo in Mohan.
Find that sound in the chart. The row where it appears is your naam rashi.

Examples of Rashi by Name

चेतन (Chetan) begins with चे, which sits under Mesh. राहुल (Rahul) begins with रा and belongs to Tula. मोहन (Mohan) begins with मो, which is Singh. वीर (Veer) begins with वी, which is Vrishabh. गीता (Geeta) begins with गी, which is Makar. दीपक (Deepak) begins with दी, which is Meen.

How the Name Chart Works (Nakshatra Padas)

The 27 nakshatras are each divided into four padas, which gives 108 padas. Every pada has a name syllable, and nine padas make up one rashi (12 rashis times 9 padas equals 108). That is why each rashi in the chart lists nine sounds.

Naam Rashi vs Janma Rashi

Naam rashi is a convenient guide, especially when birth details are not available. If a name was not chosen from the kundli, the naam rashi may differ from the Janma Rashi. When you know your birth time and place, prefer your Chandra Rashi; see how to find your moon sign. You can compare all signs in the list of the 12 rashi names.

Frequently asked questions

Can I find my rashi by name?

Yes, traditionally. The naam se rashi chart matches the first syllable of a name to one of the 12 rashis using the nakshatra padas.

What if my name does not match the chart exactly?

Modern spellings do not always fit neatly. Match the sound of the first syllable as it is pronounced, and check your janam kundli if you are unsure. Roman spellings in the chart are approximate because Hindi has separate sounds such as ट and त.

Is naam rashi the same as my zodiac sign?

Not necessarily. Naam rashi comes from the sound of the name, while the zodiac sign in Western horoscopes comes from the birth date, and Chandra Rashi comes from the Moon at birth.

Which rashifal should I read, naam rashi or moon sign?

If you know your moon sign (Chandra Rashi) from a kundli, read that. If not, the naam rashi is a traditional fallback.
