Shravana Nakshatra Baby Names: Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho
Baby names for Shravana nakshatra: the pada syllables Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Shravana is nakshatra 22 of 27, ruled by Moon, with Vishnu, the preserver as its deity. When the Moon is in Shravana at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Khi for the first pada, Khu for the second, Khe for the third and Kho for the fourth (खी, खू, खे, खो).
By rashi: padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Capricorn. 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 Shravana nakshatra?
Khi, Khu, Khe and Kho (खी, खू, खे, खो), one for each pada in order. The pada comes from where the Moon stood at the time of birth.
Which rashi does Shravana nakshatra fall in?
Padas 1, 2, 3, 4 in Capricorn. 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.
