Baby Naming Traditions in Nepal
Nepal follows similar Vedic naming traditions to India. The Janm Nakshatra determines the Janm Akshar, and names are chosen from the appropriate syllable by a Jyotishi (astrologer).
Hindu Nepali names include classic Sanskrit names like Sanjay, Bijay, Deepak, Sunita, Sushila, and Anita. Buddhist Nepali names like Tenzin, Karma, Dorje, and Pema are used by Tibetan-origin communities.
Newar community has unique names from their own language; Gurung, Tamang, Rai, and Limbu communities have distinct naming traditions combining Buddhism with animist traditions.
