Purva Phalguni Nakshatra Baby Names: Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu
Baby names for Purva Phalguni nakshatra: the pada syllables Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Purva Phalguni is nakshatra 11 of 27, ruled by Venus, with Bhaga, god of good fortune and delight as its deity. When the Moon is in Purva Phalguni at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Mo for the first pada, Ta for the second, Ti for the third and Tu for the fourth (मो, टा, टी, टू).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Leo. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What are the naming syllables for Purva Phalguni nakshatra?
Mo, Ta, Ti and Tu (मो, टा, टी, टू), one for each pada in order. The pada comes from where the Moon stood at the time of birth.

How do I find my baby's pada?
From the date, exact time and place of birth. Our free baby name letter calculator gives the Moon's nakshatra, pada and syllable, and warns when the Moon is close to a pada boundary.
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.
