Are Sanskrit names gender-specific?

Sanskrit names follow the gender rule of nouns. They are automatically divided among three genders – masculine, feminine, and neutral gender. Therefore, names in Sanskrit are divided between genders using specific changes to the ending of the names. However, the stem of the name may remain neutral in some cases (1).

What do common suffixes in Sanskrit names signify?

Sanskrit name suffixes indicate various aspects such as virtues, divine qualities, geographical origins, and familial lineage. The suffixes ‘aka’, and ‘ya’ indicate a noun’s origin or knowledge. For instance, ya in Apremeya connotes ‘coming from infinity’ and in Aacharya defines ‘one who knows conduct’. Suffixes ‘tva’ is used for quality and ‘maya’ indicates composition (2). Other suffixes such as a, ana, and ā are used for masculine, neuter, and feminine gender; ika for association or appurtenance, ti for action or state, tā for characteristics or qualities, tva for abstract concepts, and ma for action or state.
