About these meanings

Meanings, origins and spellings are the widely-accepted ones — many Indian names carry more than one meaning across languages, so treat this as a well-researched guide, not the only answer.
The numerology uses the Chaldean system common in India: each letter has a value, and the total reduces to a single number (1–9) with its own traits. It works for any name, even one not in our list.
This is a growing list — new names are added over time. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is saved.
