Rashi by name: find your rashi from the first letter of your name
Pick the first letter of your name to see its rashi and nakshatra. Below is the A to Z list and the full 108-syllable naming chart.
Your naam rashi comes from the sound of the first syllable of your name. Vedic tradition assigns 108 syllables to the 27 nakshatras, and each syllable falls in one rashi: for example A and L are Mesh, M is Simha, R is Tula, N is Vrishchik, S is Kumbh and K is Mithun. Your true janam rashi needs your birth time.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find your rashi from your name?
Take the sound of the first syllable of your name (for example "Su" in Suresh) and find it in the 108-syllable chart. Suresh = Su = Kumbh rashi.
Are naam rashi and janam rashi the same?
Not necessarily. The janam rashi comes from the Moon's position at birth. Traditionally a child was named with a syllable from their birth nakshatra, so the two matched.
Which rashi is used for marriage matching?
The janam rashi and nakshatra. If the birth time is unknown, the naam rashi can be used instead.
