Unisex Indian names and their meanings

Why choose a unisex name
A gender-neutral name gives a child a clean, modern identity and works before birth when you do not yet know the sex. In India these are especially natural because Sikh names (Gurpreet, Simran, Manpreet) are traditionally unisex, and many Sanskrit words (Kiran/ray, Jyoti/light, Sai) are used freely for either.
Each name below is marked unisex in our data because it is genuinely used for both — not just theoretically possible.
