Vrishabh Rashi (Taurus) Baby Names: I, U, E, O, Va, Vi, Vu, Ve, Vo
Baby names for Vrishabh rashi (Taurus): its nine naming syllables, the nakshatra pada of each, and 176 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′). Vrishabh (Taurus) holds Krittika (padas 2, 3, 4), Rohini (padas 1, 2, 3, 4) and Mrigashira (padas 1, 2), so its naming syllables are I, U, E, O, Va, Vi, Vu, Ve, Vo (ई, उ, ए, ओ, वा, वी, वू, वे, वो).
Vrishabh is ruled by Venus and its element is earth. Below are 176 commonly used names that begin with these sounds — 100 for boys and 77 for girls. Almost no names begin with Vu (वू) or Vo (वो); 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 Vrishabh rashi?
I, U, E, O, Va, Vi, Vu, Ve, Vo — the syllables of the Krittika, Rohini and Mrigashira padas that fall in Taurus.
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.
