Rohini Nakshatra Baby Names: O, Va, Vi, Vu
Baby names for Rohini nakshatra: the pada syllables O, Va, Vi, Vu, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Rohini is nakshatra 4 of 27, ruled by Moon, with Brahma (Prajapati), the creator as its deity. When the Moon is in Rohini at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: O for the first pada, Va for the second, Vi for the third and Vu for the fourth (ओ, वा, वी, वू).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Taurus. 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.

Padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Taurus. A rashi taken from the name (naam rashi) is a naming convention; the real Moon sign comes from the birth time.

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.
