In Hindu tradition, a baby's first name syllable is chosen to match the Moon's position (Rashi) at birth. This Rashi name finder works the other way — type any name to instantly find its Rashi, see personality traits, and get baby names by Rashi for boys and girls.
Enter a full name or just the first letter in the box above — this works as a quick Rashi name finder for yourself, your baby, or anyone else.
The tool matches the name's starting sound to one of the 12 Rashis using the traditional Vedic naming chart, and shows the equivalent Western zodiac sign.
