Purva Phalguni Nakshatra Baby Names

Lord: Venus · Deity: Bhaga (the Aditya who bestows delight and good fortune) · Rashi: Leo

The naming syllables of Purva Phalguni nakshatra are Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu (మో, టా, టీ, టూ). This page lists 12 Telugu names for them, pada by pada, with meanings.

Telugu calls this nakshatra Pubba. Three of its syllables use the retroflex ṭa (ట), which begins almost no Telugu names, so the names below use the dental ta (త) with the same vowel, as many families do. The nakshatra's deity is Bhaga.

Pada 1 · Mo (మో)

Leo 13°20′ – 16°40′ · Navamsa: Leo (Sun)

Pada 2 · Ta (టా)

Leo 16°40′ – 20° · Navamsa: Virgo (Mercury)

Names beginning with Ta (టా) are rare, so names with the nearest sound, తా, are listed too. The nakshatra name itself still takes Ta (టా).

Pada 3 · Ti (టీ)

Leo 20° – 23°20′ · Navamsa: Libra (Venus)

Names beginning with Ti (టీ) are rare, so names with the nearest sound, తీ, are listed too. The nakshatra name itself still takes Ti (టీ).

Pada 4 · Tu (టూ)

Leo 23°20′ – 26°40′ · Navamsa: Scorpio (Mars)

Names beginning with Tu (టూ) are rare, so names with the nearest sound, తూ, are listed too. The nakshatra name itself still takes Tu (టూ).

Which pada of Purva Phalguni was your baby born in?

The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Leo 13°20′ – 16°40′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Purva Phalguni and the naming syllable is Mo (మో). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
