Where names starting with V sit in the Avakahada chakra

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 syllableNamesNakshatraRashi
Vi 19 🌙 Rohini · pada 3 Vrishabha
Va 5 🌙 Rohini · pada 2 Vrishabha
Ve 2 🦌 Mrigashira · pada 1 Vrishabha

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.

Questions parents ask about names starting with V

How many Indian baby names starting with V does Naam Dekho publish?

26 — 19 boys' and 7 girls'. 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.

Which nakshatra do names starting with V belong to?

The letter does not decide it — the opening sound does. Names on this page open on Vi, Va and Ve, which the Avakahada chakra places in Rohini and Mrigashira. A child's actual birth star comes from the Moon's position in the janam kundli, not from the spelling of a name.

Do all names starting with V share the same numerology number?

No. Chaldean numerology values every letter of the spelling, not just the first: V is worth 6, and the rest of the name decides the total. The 26 names here fall across 9 different root numbers — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 — so two names beginning with V can carry completely different readings.
