Common names that start with Singh letters
Read by the same first-syllable rule as the rashi by name tool, these familiar given names are read as starting with one of the letters above: Maya, Meera and Mira. They show how the letters sound in use; they are not recommendations or meanings, and the Devanagari spelling decides when a name can be read two ways.
How to use these letters
Take the Moon’s rashi from the birth chart (or rashi by date of birthworks it out from the date and time), then choose a name that begins with one of the nine letters. If you also know the nakshatra pada, the single matching letter in the table is the narrower choice. Without birth details, the rashi name finder shows the letters for any rashi, nakshatra or pada, and rashi by name shows where a name you already like falls.
Neighbouring rashis
Before Singh comes Kark rashi (Cancer), after it Kanya rashi (Virgo). See all twelve on the rashi chart, the rashi letters chart or the 12 rashis explained.
For Singh as the birth Moon sign, the 8th rashi is Meen: by muhurta custom the days the Moon passes through it are chandrashtama. The chandrashtama calculator lists those dates.
