Mesh Rashi (Aries) Baby Names: Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo, A
Baby names for Mesh rashi (Aries): its nine naming syllables, the nakshatra pada of each, and 263 real boy and girl names with meanings.
A rashi has no letters of its own in the naming tradition: its letters are the syllables of the nine nakshatra padas that fall in it (each rashi spans 30°, each pada 3°20′). Mesh (Aries) holds Ashwini (padas 1, 2, 3, 4), Bharani (padas 1, 2, 3, 4) and Krittika (pada 1), so its naming syllables are Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo, A (चू, चे, चो, ला, ली, लू, ले, लो, अ).
Mesh is ruled by Mars and its element is fire. Below are 263 commonly used names that begin with these sounds — 155 for boys and 114 for girls. Almost no names begin with Cho (चो) or Lu (लू); families then take another syllable of the same nakshatra or the nearest sound.

Choosing a name by nakshatra
Tradition takes the first sound of a baby's name from the nakshatra the Moon occupies at birth. Each nakshatra has four padas (quarters), each with one syllable — 108 in all — and the syllable of the Moon's pada becomes the first sound of the name.
Short and long vowels count as the same sound (Li/Lee, A/Aa), but E and Ai, O and Au are different. Names that begin with a conjunct (Shr-, Pr-, Ksh-) fall under no syllable of the table. It is a tradition, not a rule — any name you love is fine.
Frequently asked questions
What are the naming letters for Mesh rashi?
Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo, A — the syllables of the Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika padas that fall in Aries.
Is the name rashi the same as the Moon sign?
Not necessarily. The name rashi is a convention that follows the name's first syllable; the birth rashi (janma rashi) is the sign the Moon was in at birth, worked out from the birth time.
How do I find the exact letter for my baby?
A rashi only narrows it to nine syllables; the exact one comes from the Moon's nakshatra pada. Our free baby name letter calculator works it out from the birth date, time and place.
