We publish 21 names beginning with B — 9 boys', 9 girls' and 3 unisex. Every one is listed with the Devanagari spelling our transliteration engine produces and the Chaldean root number of its full spelling, and with its meaning where we have verified one against a citable source.
Below the lists: how these names distribute across the Chaldean root numbers, and which nakshatra syllables their opening sounds belong to.
Roman spelling hides the vowel length that Devanagari writes out. Our transliteration engine opens these names on 2 different aksharas.
Devanagari from our transliteration engine; the number is the Chaldean reduction of the spelling shown.

A blank meaning is one we have not verified against a citable source. We would rather leave the cell empty than fill it with a plausible guess.

The chakra is a table of 108 syllables, not of letters — it is the opening sound that places a name, so one letter can spread across several birth stars.
| Opening syllable | Names | Nakshatra | Rashi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bha | 7 | 🌿 Mula · pada 3 | Dhanu |
| Bho | 1 | 🐘 Uttara Ashadha · pada 2 | Makara |
| Bhu | 1 | 🌊 Purva Ashadha · pada 1 | Dhanu |
12 further names beginning with B open on a sound the 108 syllables do not carry, so they are not in this table.
Traditionally the table runs the other way: a pandit reads the birth star and pada from the janam kundli and hands the family a syllable to start the name with. The birth chart is the authority, not the name. This is the reverse lookup, useful once you already have a name in mind.
21 — 9 boys', 9 girls' and 3 unisex. Each has its own page carrying the name in ten Indian scripts, its Chaldean reading and its short forms. The list is what our corpus actually holds and it grows as the corpus does; nothing is padded to make the letter look fuller.
The letter does not decide it — the opening sound does. Names on this page open on Bha, Bho and Bhu, which the Avakahada chakra places in Mula, Uttara Ashadha and Purva Ashadha. A child's actual birth star comes from the Moon's position in the janam kundli, not from the spelling of a name.
No. Chaldean numerology values every letter of the spelling, not just the first: B is worth 2, and the rest of the name decides the total. The 21 names here fall across 8 different root numbers — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 — so two names beginning with B can carry completely different readings.
Not always the same way. These names open on 2 different Devanagari aksharas — ब (12) and भ (9) — because Devanagari writes the vowel length that roman spelling only hints at. Every name page shows the full spelling in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia.
