Choosing the perfect name for your baby is a special and meaningful decision in Hindu culture. Names are not just labels; they carry deep spiritual, cultural, and astrological significance. Many Hindu parents select names based on the first letter, often guided by astrology (Namkaran) or family traditions.
Names starting with the letter “K” hold a strong presence in Hindu mythology and modern times. The letter “K” is associated with power, wisdom, and divine blessings. Many popular Hindu gods, such as Krishna, Kartikeya, and Kubera, have names starting with “K,” making such names highly auspicious.
