How to Find Baby Boy Names with Meaning of Lord Shiva That Reflect Your Culture

Recently, I attended the Namkaran ceremony of one of my relatives and the thought came to my mind that how difficult it is for parents to choose a name for their newborn that could satisfy everyone. 


Most of the times it is seen that grandparents suggest names that are traditional and are based on Gods and Goddesses. Such names represent the culture and beliefs of the family and are also believed to have a positive effect on the little baby. But a common complaint about traditional names is that they are heard everywhere. 

The names may be very common and you have to choose something from the given list. My cousin brother preferred to remain traditional for his baby boy and wanted a name with meaning of Lord Shiva. So here is how we shortlisted some good names for the little one: 

The Baby Boy Theme: The first thing that we did was to choose a particular theme for instance traditional or trendy names. We decided to remain traditional and religious and this helped us to narrow down our choice. This idea can help you to agree on a theme and make it easier to select a word that everyone would love. We agreed to search a name that meant Lord Shiva. 

Seek out suggestions: Once the theme was decided upon, our next step was to ask close friends and relatives for suggestions. May people suggested names for the baby boy with meaning Lord Shiva. But we did not want to go for common names, we wanted something that was unique with the same meaning. 

Check the internet: Naming websites proved to be a great help to us. We searched for names with meaning Lord Shiva on various naming website and got a huge list of words with their meanings. We wrote down the words that were appropriate and suitable for the little baby boy. As the list became bigger we also started to strike of those words that no one agreed to. 

Easy to pronounce: Our next big step was to select those names from the list that were easy to pronounce and had a simple spelling. We always kept this in mind that the name should have a good meaning and should not be something that could be easily turned into something funny. This of course could be embarrassing for the kid when he grows up.

Thus, our final list of baby boy names with meaning Lord Shiva included names like Adyah, Dakshah, Devarshih, Girish, Kirat, Viresh, Rudra to mention a few.

I hope this blog will definitely help you to choose a baby name with great meaning that perfectly matches your little bundle of joy.
