Can I filter these names by gender?

Yes. Use the "All", "Baby Boys", and "Baby Girls" filter buttons above the list to narrow results. Unisex names are included in both the boy and girl counts.

What if very few or no names appear for this syllable?

Some Sanskrit sounds are rare as name-starters in common usage, so only a small number of genuine traditional names (or none) may exist for them. We show this honestly instead of inventing names that aren't actually used.

Do I have to use this exact syllable, or is a similar sound acceptable?

Namakshar is a traditional recommendation rather than a strict rule. Many families also consider names with a closely related sound, or weigh meaning and personal preference alongside the suggested syllable.

Where do these syllables come from?

Each syllable corresponds to one of the 108 Nakshatra Padas (27 Nakshatras × 4 Padas each) in classical Vedic astrology, based on the position of the Moon at birth.

How do I find the right syllable for my own birth details?

Go back to the full Baby Names table, find your Nakshatra and Pada (available from your birth chart or Panchang), and locate the matching syllable in that row.

About Names Starting with “Khe” (खे)

Why This Syllable?

“Khe” (खे) is the traditional Namakshar (starting syllable) associated with the ShravanaNakshatra Pada, according to classical Vedic naming conventions. If your, or your child's, Moon falls in this exact Nakshatra Pada at birth, names beginning with this sound are traditionally considered harmonious with the birth chart for the Namkaran (naming ceremony).

About This List

The names below are genuine, commonly used Hindu given names — prioritizing names and epithets of Hindu deities wherever one genuinely begins with this sound — along with their meanings in Hindi and English. Use the gender filter above to narrow the list to names more commonly given to boys, girls, or unisex names.

Using This List

Treat this as a starting point rather than an exhaustive or mandatory list — for some rare Sanskrit sounds, only a handful of traditional names exist, and that is noted honestly rather than inventing entries. You are also free to consider names that begin with a similar-sounding syllable, or to weigh meaning and family preference alongside the Namakshar tradition.
