A Hindu baby is named with great fan fare and celebration. In the life of an India Hindu, the naming ceremony is a major life event - a Samskara. Names are chosen from a variety of sources of Hindu history. They may convey meaning or maybe names of Gods and Goddesses. Names are usually closely connected to religious beliefs.

The names Hindu scriptures allow for Hindu babies are derived from the overall rituals of the Hindu religion itself. The naming of a baby is actually part of a seven-step "samskara" or ritual which starts from the conceiving of the baby itself. The baby Hindu names are based on the Vedic scriptures and any deviation is considered inauspicious for the child.
