How to read this page
Choosing a Hindi name
Origin is a useful starting point, but names move across languages, families and countries. A name can belong to more than one tradition, especially when it has been used for centuries.
The individual name pages give the fuller picture. They show whether a name is rising or falling, how often it appears in recent birth records, and where it is strongest across the UK.

Questions
About Hindi names
What makes a name Hindi?
A name is grouped here when its meaning, language history or common use links it with hindi naming tradition. Some names also appear in other origin groups because naming history is messy, especially in Britain.
Are these names ranked by recent popularity?
No. The lists are ordered by total births in the UK baby-name figures. That makes long-running names easier to spot. Open any name to see its latest rank and yearly trend.
Why do some familiar names appear lower down?
A name can be famous without being common in birth records. Spelling variants can also split the count across several forms, so names such as Sean and Shaun may appear separately.
