Calculating Moon position & finding sacred names…
In the ancient Vedic tradition, a child's name is not arbitrary — it is derived from their cosmic blueprint. The Namkaran ceremony (नामकरण संस्कार) is one of the sixteen samskaras (rites of passage) described in Vedic texts. It is typically performed on the 11th day after birth.
The Moon's exact position at birth is calculated using NASA's DE421 ephemeris. This determines which of the 27 Nakshatras the Moon occupies.
Each Nakshatra has four Padas (quarters). Each Pada maps to a specific Sanskrit syllable (akshara) — the traditional starting sound for the baby's name.
Names starting with the correct syllable are drawn from our database of authentic Sanskrit, Hindi, and Nepali names with meanings.

Yes. Unlike generic Vedic apps that use approximate tables, Kundali calculates the Moon's position using NASA's JPL DE421 ephemeris — the same data used by professional astronomers. Lahiri ayanamsa is applied for Vedic sidereal calculations.
