44 Assamese Baby Girl Names With Meanings

Assam, the bustling Northeast Indian state, boasts a wealth of culture and history. Assamese baby girl names reflect precisely these qualities. This beautiful state does not have people from one culture or race. It boasts an intermingling of Mongoloid and Indo-Burmese races, among others (1). Multiple tribes, including Bodo, Kachari, Mishmi, Dimasa, Rabha, and Mishmi, cohabit in the state. A majority of these tribes and communities have their own tongues. However, Assamese is the predominant language of the state, along with Bodo and Bengali. Many of these tribes have specific birthing and naming rituals. For instance, Deuris cut the newborn’s umbilical cord with a sharp piece of bamboo. Seven days after birth, in a cleansing ceremony called suwa labirua, the entire household is cleaned, and older women from the community name the child. After this, amidst other customs, a drop of suje (a traditional rice liquor) is put into the child’s mouth to welcome them into the clan (2). Among the Sonowal Kacharis, no rituals are held during pregnancy. After childbirth, a period of uncleanliness is observed — 21 days for boys and 30 for girls. When the child’s navel cord falls off, in a ritual called Bajuliwa, they are taken outside ceremoniously to show the sun. After the period of impurity ends, in a ceremony called Sudhi-Sabah, the child’s head is shaved, and they are named. Devotees hold a Namkirtan, where they sing religious songs and bless the child, formally welcoming them as a true Kachari (3). Thus, childbirth holds great significance in Assamese culture. Assamese girl names are deeply rooted in the diversity and history of the region. Most names have Sanskrit origins, which makes them traditionally significant. Some are inspired by nature or various deities worshiped by the Assamese communities. Furthermore, many names convey the inherent beauty of a woman. They signify various positive traits and virtues.
