Naming traditions in Gujarat
A Gujarati full name is usually the child's name, then the father's name, then the surname. The family may pick the first letter from the baby's rashi, and the names often end in a sweet short sound.
Before you choose
- Say the name aloud with the surname, and check the initials.
- Ask an elder, a priest or a language speaker to confirm the meaning, because meanings vary by source and community.
- Choose one spelling and use it on every document, from the birth certificate to Aadhaar.
- Check how the name sounds and reads in other languages, if your family may move.
