Mithun Rashi naming sounds

9 padas

Ka · Kee · Ku · Gha · Ing · Chha · Ke · Ko · Ha

Your child's sound is the one pada the Moon was in at birth.

A child born under Mithun Rashi is traditionally named on the sound of the single pada the Moon occupied at birth. The nine quarters in this sign are Mrigashira padas 3-4, Ardra, Punarvasu padas 1-3.

The nine quarters

Find the pada first, then use its sound.

The sign gives nine possible sounds. Birth time identifies the one pada; the baby name finder calculates it from the Moon's position.

Mithun Rashi (मिथुन) — naming syllable for each pada
Nakshatra	Pada	Naming sound
Mrigashira	3	Ka
Mrigashira	4	Kee
Ardra	1	Ku
Ardra	2	Gha
Ardra	3	Ing
Ardra	4	Chha
Punarvasu	1	Ke
Punarvasu	2	Ko
Punarvasu	3	Ha

Boundary note. Mrigashira padas 1-2 belong to Vrishabh, not Mithun; Punarvasu pada 4 belongs to Kark, not Mithun. That is why this table uses padas rather than filing a whole nakshatra under one sign.

Mithun Rashi name questions

Which letters are used for Mithun Rashi names?

Ka, Kee, Ku, Gha, Ing, Chha, Ke, Ko, Ha. Those are the sounds assigned to the nine padas that fall in Mithun — Mrigashira padas 3-4, Ardra, Punarvasu padas 1-3 — in the Namakaran tradition. The tradition names on the sound of the single pada the Moon occupied at birth, so only one of these is 'yours'; the remaining quarters belong to the same sign but to a different part of it, and the birth time is what tells them apart.

Does the name have to start with one of these sounds?

No. This is a tradition, not a rule, and no text treats a name chosen for another reason as harmful. Families regularly name a child after a grandparent or a deity instead. The only consequence is that the name will not encode the birth star, so nobody will be able to read the chart back out of it later.

Why are only 293 sourced names shown for Mithun?
