The naming ceremony or Namakaran is an important Samskara(rite) in the life of a Hindu baby. Hindu names are hence chosen with great care and caution, after consultation with elders, holy books, priests and the stars. This has also been adopted by Buddhist, Jain, Muslim, Christian families in India while naming their babies. An Indian name is therefore unique, traditional and ethnic drawing from the years of Indian tradition.

Indian names are no longer confined to the physical boundaries of India. Sanskrit names, names of Sanskrit or Indian origin are the fast favorites in non-Asiatic countries owing to the fact that these names have exquisite, almost magical connotations. Celebrities lead the way and the common man happily follows the trend both in India and abroad with Sanskrit and Indian baby names
