Namakarana, the child’s naming ceremony, is a significant event as it marks the first important ritual in a child’s life. By performing the puja, the child receives blessings for a long, healthy, and prosperous life.
Key Insights: The Namakarana ceremony is performed to name a newborn child according
to the Shastras.
The chosen name should reflect qualities like charm, fame,
wealth, and strength.
Traditionally conducted on the 11th day after birth.
Mantras are chanted during the ceremony to ensure the baby's health and
well-being.
The Namakarana ceremony is typically performed eleven days after the birth of the baby. It is considered auspicious to conduct the ritual in the morning.
According to the Grihyasutras, a baby’s name should meet five key criteria. The
chosen name reflects the family's culture, religion, and education, and it should
also bring good fortune.
1.The baby’s name should be easy to pronounce and
pleasant to hear.
2. The name must follow a specific number of syllables and
vowels.
3. The name should clearly indicate the baby’s gender.
4. It
should be associated with wealth, fame, or power.
5. The name should reflect
the family’s caste or background.
With hundreds of gods and goddesses in
Hinduism, names derived from mythology provide a wide range of options for boys and
girls. Every name has a meaningful definition, such as Atul, meaning “incomparable,”
Abhay, meaning “fearless,” or Nityanand, meaning “eternal happiness.”
Selecting a Hindu name can be a complex task. Traditionally, friends and family
gather for the namkaran ceremony. However, in modern times, while the ceremony is
still performed, people often choose names that are easier to pronounce
internationally, especially when children or families live abroad. Though traditions
are respected, the names are kept simpler to suit contemporary settings.
