Parents seeking names inspired by Hindu astrological tradition, or Jyotisha, have a little bit of help from Mother Nature in determining which moniker is best. Each of the Vedic zodiac signs is associated with a small grouping of letters, and names beginning with those letters or syllables are thought to bring positive vibrations into your baby’s life.
If you’re due between March 21st and April 19th, you may have a Mesha baby on the way! Also spelled Mesa, this sign is the Hindu counterpart of the Western astrological sign Aries.

Che names and Vedic astrology
Within Vedic tradition, babies born between 3/21 and 4/19 are born under the Mesha/Mesa sign. Much like its Western counterpart which spans the same timeframe, the sign is represented by a ram; this similarity may owe to a shared influence drawn from Hellenic astrology, though it’s argued by Indian scholars that Jyotisha may have evolved independently.
Mesha/Mesa babies are said to be bold and confident, striking out on their own with fierce idealism and an intense independent streak. They find a great deal of drive and passion in their natural desire to compete and succeed, and are often quick to fall into positions of leadership.
Other names thought to bring positive vibrations and encourage good thoughts for children born under this sign are those beginning with A and L.
