Hindu/Asian Names

Hi All

I just wondered if anyone had a favourite Hindu/Asian names?

Love and peace x

 

My daughter's name is Maya "Mystical Illusion"

 

I have to say that one of my favourite's - It's very pretty


Love and peace x

 

I am not sure what background these names come from but they sound middle-eastern: Satori and Shakti

A friend of mine named her daughter Satori, and someone else on the forums has a little one named Shakti.
????

 

My friend's daughter is named Shanti.

 

Meanings are in brackets, if I know them.

Key: Girls, boys, eithier

Hindu:
Ashima (without borders/limitless)
Ashoke (?)
Lakshmi (Goddess of beauty, prosperity, luck)
Nadia* (a place in India)
Nikhil (?)
Shiva (though technically a boys name, I know a female Shiva)
Sonail (Golden)
Vishnu

Sanskrit:
Arun (red dust, the dawn)
Dharma (truth/law)
Kamala (rose coloured/lotus flower)
Kiran (ray of light)
Lila* (creation#)
Maya* (creation#/illusion/beauty)
Nikita* (the earth)
Prajna (wisdom)
Siddhartha (wealth/accomplishment)
Skanda (?)

*These ave alternative meanings in other languages.

#At least I think those are the meanings, read it a while ago.

Behind the name (behindthename.com) has lists of names grouped by their various origins.

 

I like Asha, I think that name is beautiful.

 

Maya Rose. Some little girl was names that the other day. I thought it was prety.

 

'Nadia' can mean 'nobody' in Spanish. I have heard of women being named that, though.

 

Thanks Sage I hoped that you'd reply with lots of names!

Maya Rose, Dharma and Asha are gorgeous. Would you say that Asha was a unisex name?

Glad to be of service.

Yes I suppose Asha could be unisex, as it sounds similar to Asher (boys name) but looks feminine.
