About Names Starting with “हो”

Why This Syllable?

“हो” is the traditional Namakshar (starting syllable) associated with the PushyaNakshatra Pada, according to classical Vedic naming conventions. If your, or your child's, Moon falls in this exact Nakshatra Pada at birth, names beginning with this sound are traditionally considered harmonious with the birth chart for the Namkaran (naming ceremony).

About This List

The names below are genuine, commonly used Hindu given names — prioritizing names and epithets of Hindu deities wherever one genuinely begins with this sound — along with their meanings in Hindi and English. Use the gender filter above to narrow the list to names more commonly given to boys, girls, or unisex names.

Using This List

Treat this as a starting point rather than an exhaustive or mandatory list — for some rare Sanskrit sounds, only a handful of traditional names exist, and that is noted honestly rather than inventing entries. You are also free to consider names that begin with a similar-sounding syllable, or to weigh meaning and family preference alongside the Namakshar tradition.
