Kark Rashi (Cancer) Baby Names: Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Di, Du, De, Do

Baby names for Kark rashi (Cancer): its nine naming syllables, the nakshatra pada of each, and 22 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′). Kark (Cancer) holds Punarvasu (pada 4), Pushya (padas 1, 2, 3, 4) and Ashlesha (padas 1, 2, 3, 4), so its naming syllables are Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Di, Du, De, Do (ही, हू, हे, हो, डा, डी, डू, डे, डो).

Kark is ruled by Moon and its element is water. Below are 22 commonly used names that begin with these sounds — 9 for boys and 13 for girls. Almost no names begin with Hu (हू), Ho (हो), Da (डा), Di (डी), Du (डू), De (डे) or Do (डो); 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 Kark rashi?

Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Di, Du, De, Do — the syllables of the Punarvasu, Pushya and Ashlesha padas that fall in Cancer.

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.
