Shravana Nakshatra Baby Names

Lord: Moon · Deity: Vishnu (Jagannatha, who governs the universe) · Rashi: Capricorn

The naming syllables of Shravana nakshatra are Ju, Je, Jo, Kha (జూ, జే, జో, ఖా). This page lists 2 Telugu names for them, pada by pada, with meanings.

Shravana's deity is Vishnu; it is Lord Venkateswara's nakshatra, and the month of Shravana is named after it. Its first three syllables begin almost no names, so many families name the child after the nakshatra itself: Shravan, Shravani or Shravya.

Pada 1 · Ju (జూ)

Capricorn 10° – 13°20′ · Navamsa: Aries (Mars)

Hardly any Telugu names begin with Ju (జూ). A baby born in this pada keeps Ju (జూ) for the nakshatra name said in pujas and sankalpas, and the family chooses the everyday name by its own custom.

Pada 2 · Je (జే)

Capricorn 13°20′ – 16°40′ · Navamsa: Taurus (Venus)

Hardly any Telugu names begin with Je (జే). A baby born in this pada keeps Je (జే) for the nakshatra name said in pujas and sankalpas, and the family chooses the everyday name by its own custom.

Pada 3 · Jo (జో)

Capricorn 16°40′ – 20° · Navamsa: Gemini (Mercury)

Hardly any Telugu names begin with Jo (జో). A baby born in this pada keeps Jo (జో) for the nakshatra name said in pujas and sankalpas, and the family chooses the everyday name by its own custom.

Pada 4 · Kha (ఖా)

Capricorn 20° – 23°20′ · Navamsa: Cancer (Moon)

Names beginning with Kha (ఖా) are rare, so names with the nearest sound, ఖ్యా, are listed too. The nakshatra name itself still takes Kha (ఖా).

Which pada of Shravana was your baby born in?

The Moon's position in the birth chart gives the nakshatra and pada. If the Moon was in Capricorn 10° – 13°20′ at birth, for example, the baby was born in pada 1 of Shravana and the naming syllable is Ju (జూ). A pada lasts only about six hours, so near a pada boundary the birth time must be exact.
