Rashi by Name Calculator (नाम राशि): free online tool

In Indian tradition the first sound of a name is linked to a rashi (moon sign). This tool works from the name: type it and it finds the rashi of the first sound, using the classic table of 108 naming letters, nine for each of the twelve rashis.

You can type in English or Hindi. Sounds that English cannot tell apart, such as t and ट, d and ड, or sh, show the other possible rashi as well. This is the name rashi (नाम राशि), not the birth chart rashi.

How to calculate your age

  1. Choose your date of birth.
  2. Leave the second box on today, or pick another date such as 1 January or the closing date of a form.
  3. Read your age in years, months and days, plus the totals below it.
  4. Use Copy result to paste the answer into a form or message.

How the age is counted

  • Full years are counted first, then the full months after that birthday, then the days that are left.
  • Real month lengths and leap years are used, so the days are exact.
  • If you were born on 29 February, the next birthday in a year without that date is shown as 28 February.
  • Age for an exam or job form is usually counted on a fixed date given in the notice. Always check the rule in the official notice.
  • Want to celebrate? Make a card with the Birthday Card Maker or send birthday wishes.

Tips

  • Type the name as it is spoken. The first sound decides the rashi.
  • Choosing a baby name? Tap a rashi in the chart to see the nine letters that go with it.
  • If your family priest used a birth chart, the birth rashi can be different from the name rashi. For kundli matching, follow your priest.
