Hindu Names Lists
Welcome to the Hindu Names Database of MyHinduPage. This dynamic database is a virtual repository for Hindu Names and information related to them.

The list of names will be organized according to the English language alphabets. The listing will be formatted like a glossary, with additional colour coding provided for the names to distinguish gender usage. This listing format may not be the most convenient to search for names quickly, however the goal of this database is more of collecting information first and listing second. ( A list of websites for quick name searches is provided below the alphabet index)
Blue color denotes masculine names, Purple, feminine and Grey are unisex names. When it comes to languages, since there are many ethnic Indian languages, best effort will be employed to provide language information. To show this information, tags after the names such as -s (Sanskrit), -h (Hindi) -t (Tamil) is used. For example lets take the common name Ananda. It will be listed as follows:
Ananda -s, Anand -h, Ananthan -t. Thus the versions of the name in Sanskrit, Hindu and Tamil are represented.
If a name is specifically of other indic language apart from Sanskirt, Hindi or Tamil, then different tags will be used. A legend will be provided a the top of the alphabetical database to explain the tags and colour codes used in the database.
This database came online on January 2009. It is very much in its initial stage of development. As of now, (January 31, 2009) the work is concentrated on names that start with the letter A. It will take about a year for the listing to have content from A to Z.
