Parents have different approaches when it comes to baby names. Some like to name their children after their favorite pop culture icons or historical and fictional characters. Others look back to their ancestors for baby name inspiration. But Indians, especially Hindus, prefer Hindi when it comes to naming their children.
Hindi, the official language of India, has a huge vocabulary, with an immense power of expression. Since the vocabulary is derived from four major languages – Sanskrit, Arabic, English, and Persian, we get a wide range of inspiration for baby names as well. The baby names derived from the Hindi language are classic, traditional, and fuse the cultural wealth of India with the linguistic ancestry.
Below is MomJunction's extensive collection of Hindi baby names with meanings, sorted alphabetically. You can use the gender filter to narrow down the results.
