Astrology believes that the stars have a powerful influence on a birth and the name has an important dominance in one’s life. The nakshatras are one of the oldest references derived from Rig Veda, dating back to 5,000 years ago. The Vedas are the ancient religious scriptures of Hindu mythology by great seers and sages of India. Their meanings are derived from the constellations, fixed stars, mythology and the science behind their position in the sky.

According to the Indian Astrology, when a child is born the first syllable of one’s name has been decided according to the birth star, the position of the moon and the quarter. Suppose a child is born under Bharini nakshatra the baby’s name will start from the letter Lee, Lu, Le, Lo, Li. It could be Leeladhar, Leelakaar, Leela, Lekha, Lakhshin, Leelakantha. The first syllable of the name falls under these nakshatras. Some uncommon names have been suggested according to those syllables. Every nakshatra has a ruling deity like Aswini’s lord is Ketu (South Lunar Node), Bharini’s lord is Shukra (Venus), Krithika’s lord is Surya (Sun), Rohini’s lord is Chandra (Moon), Mrigshiras’s lord is Mangala (Mara), Arudra’s lord is Rahu (North Lunar Node), Punarvasu’s lord is Guru (Jupiter), Pushyami’s lord is Shani (Saturn) and Ashlesha’s lord is Budh (Mercury).
