In Vedic astrology, Nam Rashi refers to the zodiac sign or moon sign associated with a person’s name, which is determined by the first letter of the name according to the Hindu Nakshatra(lunar constellation) system. Each letter of the alphabet is linked to a specific Nakshatra, which in turn corresponds to one of the 12 zodiac signs (Rashis) ruled by the Moon. The Nam Rashi is believed to influence a person’s personality, behavior, and destiny. It is often used in Hindu astrology for naming ceremonies and to determine auspicious names for individuals based on their birth Nakshatra. The Nam Rashi is considered significant in Hindu culture, as it is believed to have a profound impact on an individual’s life and future. It is also used in various astrological practices, including matchmaking and compatibility analysis.
