294 Jain Baby Names With Endearing Meanings

Jain baby names are elegant yet uncommon, although they are embodied in the philosophy of Jainism. Read on to know why these names can be your best pick. Parents want the best for their children, starting with a perfect name. A name is a lot more than an identity tag. It also gives cues to their region, religion, social background, and country. This is the main reason Indian parents take their culture and language into consideration while naming their children. In India, different sects and religions have specific naming conventions and traditions, which also holds in the case of Jains. But one thing is common in almost all the communities — the Namkaran ceremony. In Jainism, there are sixteen samskaras or ceremonies that every householder must partake in to be considered a true Jain. One of these is the naming ritual. Traditionally, the Namkaran is performed a few days or even weeks after the baby's birth. But strictly speaking, the Jain naming ceremony is held on the twelfth day after the child’s birth (1). Just like all major Indian religions, even Jains use traditional methods, such as astrology, while picking the name for their children. They even refer to Jain Ramayana for choosing a name for their bundle of joy. Jain baby names hold spiritual importance and often have profound and positive meanings. These names are inspired by the holy scriptures, historical figures, mythology, and Jain philosophy. They evoke the essence of virtues like truth, compassion, and non-violence. For instance, Bramhila is a common Jain female name, a title for the goddess Saraswati who represents wisdom, knowledge, and music. Similarly, Samkit, a Jain male name, stands for self-realization and satisfaction. If you want to know more about some of the most popular Jain baby names, take a look at our list below. You will likely find a gem or more for your child.
