About the book
The ocean of Sanskrit names is unfathomable. Hundreds of thousands of Sanskrit names are attested in Sanātana, Bauddha and Jaina texts. Sunāma-Sarit (“the river of good names”) is an authentic collection of 10,000 short (one-, two-, or three-syllable) Sanskrit names chosen from the author’s curated collection of more than 200,000 names from around 150 Sanskrit texts. In an age where the Internet is full of misinformation on Sanskrit names, this book is a ready reference for parents or entrepreneurs seeking a short Sanskrit name for their child or business.

Book features

• A name dictionary with 10,000 Sanskrit names from Sanātana, Jaina and Bauddha texts
• All names are one, two or three syllables long
• Denotata for around names 9,000 names; brief meanings or opposite gender references for the other names
• Masculine and feminine names in two different parts
• Equal number of masculine and feminine names in the book (5,000 each) and for every initial letter
• Around 21,000 citations from 19 categories of Sanskrit texts
• Distribution of number of entries for the initial letters roughly corresponds to that in the 1890 Monier-Williams dictionary with 287,604 definitions
• Appendices on Nakṣatra syllables and Rāśi letters

Namaste

Congradulations Nityanad ji for a good and timely effort.

Knowing the roots of ones own name and meaning is as important as using the name of ‘Devataa’ for Yoga- Dhyana- Pooja’.
