Hindu Names Listing

There are many Indian or Hindu names listings on the web. Most are duplicates of each other. If you are looking to find a name for your child or yourself, here are a few websites that you can use:

IndianHinduNames.com has one of the most diverse organization of names of the name listings on the web. You can choose to look up just names of God or Goddess, names by month or rashi, Vedic, epic or mythological names. You can also choose by alphabets and it gives brief meanings to names. Very good site. I especially like it because it has the category to look for names that are solely based on the names of God or names that appear in Hindu scriptures.

HinduNames.net does not have the organization of name like the above website, but it has many useful functions such as an area to keep the names you have selected for short listing. This is very helpful so you do not have to remember or write down all the names that strike your liking. Just click the Select Names button on the right of the names and you can continue to leisurely look for more names. However the navigation around this site is a little cumbersome, though it does have a search function that can short list names based on alphabets or syllables.

If you are looking for Tamil names, Shaivam.org is one of the rare resources on the web. Though not extensive, it only has names of Lord Shiva, Goddess Shakti and the names of the Saiva Saints, it is a valuable resources of Tamils and Hindus nonetheless.
