Shatabhisha Nakshatra Baby Names: Go, Sa, Si, Su
Baby names for Shatabhisha nakshatra: the pada syllables Go, Sa, Si, Su, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Shatabhisha is nakshatra 24 of 27, ruled by Rahu, with Varuna, lord of the cosmic waters as its deity. When the Moon is in Shatabhisha at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Go for the first pada, Sa for the second, Si for the third and Su for the fourth (गो, सा, सी, सू).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Aquarius. 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 Shatabhisha nakshatra?
Go, Sa, Si and Su (गो, सा, सी, सू), one for each pada in order. The pada comes from where the Moon stood at the time of birth.
Which rashi does Shatabhisha nakshatra fall in?
Padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Aquarius. A rashi taken from the name (naam rashi) is a naming convention; the real Moon sign comes from the birth time.
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.
The syllables are the common North Indian table our kundli engine uses (a test keeps the two identical). Names chosen by the Satmarg Astro editorial team; they are suggestions, not rules. All 27 nakshatras
