Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra Baby Names: Te, To, Pa, Pi
Baby names for Uttara Phalguni nakshatra: the pada syllables Te, To, Pa, Pi, the rashi of each pada, and real boy and girl names with meanings.
Uttara Phalguni is nakshatra 12 of 27, ruled by Sun, with Aryaman, god of contracts and friendship as its deity. When the Moon is in Uttara Phalguni at birth, tradition takes the first sound of the child's name from the Moon's pada: Te for the first pada, To for the second, Pa for the third and Pi for the fourth (टे, टो, पा, पी).
By rashi: pada 1 in Leo; padas 2, 3, 4 in Virgo. 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.
