Punarvasu Nakshatra Baby Names: Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi
Baby names for Punarvasu nakshatra: the pada syllables Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Punarvasu is nakshatra 7 of 27, ruled by Jupiter, with Aditi, mother of the gods as its deity. When the Moon is in Punarvasu at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Ke for the first pada, Ko for the second, Ha for the third and Hi for the fourth (के, को, हा, ही).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3 in Gemini; pada 4 in Cancer. The syllables are the common North Indian table, the same one our kundli engine uses; South Indian and some regional tables differ in places. The names below are suggestions — real, commonly used names with their meanings.

Must the name begin with this syllable?
No. It is a lovely tradition, not a rule. Many families choose freely, and a name that begins with another sound does no harm.
The syllables are the common North Indian table our kundli engine uses (a test keeps the two identical). Names chosen by the Satmarg Astro editorial team; they are suggestions, not rules. All 27 nakshatras
