Hindi is one of the official languages of India. It is deeply rooted in the rich history of the country. Hence, it is no surprise that Hindi baby boy names are used widely and cover a wide range of categories from mythology, history, literature, and religion.

Hinduism has traditionally influenced Hindi baby names though several other religions in India have their own influences. These names are usually dedicated to the various gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology.
