Quick answer: Popular Aries baby names include Arjun, Agrim, Lakshya and Lohit for boys, and Aadya, Ananya, Leela and Lavanya for girls. If you follow Vedic naming, Mesha (Aries) rashi names start with Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo or A.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, symbolised by the Ram and ruled by Mars (Mangal). Aries babies are traditionally seen as bold, energetic, independent and natural leaders. This page gives you names with meanings that suit those qualities, plus the traditional starting sounds for Mesha rashi.
Aries Sun Sign vs Mesha Rashi: Which One Should You Use?
Two systems are in common use, and they are not the same:
- Sun sign Aries (Western): a baby born between 21 March and 19 April. This is used for trait-based and theme-based naming.
- Mesha rashi (Vedic): decided by the position of the Moon at birth, not the birth date alone. Baby names are chosen from the starting sounds linked to the nakshatra pada.
Not sure of your baby's rashi? Use our Moon Sign Calculator or Birth Nakshatra Calculator with the exact date, time and place of birth.
Mesha Rashi Baby Name Letters
| Nakshatra | Starting Sounds |
|---|---|
| Ashwini (all 4 padas) | Chu, Che, Cho, La |
| Bharani (all 4 padas) | Li, Lu, Le, Lo |
| Krittika (1st pada) | A |
Because the sound depends on the nakshatra pada, confirm the exact syllable with your family priest or astrologer before finalising a name.
How to Choose an Aries Baby Name
- Decide your method. Use the Mesha rashi sounds if you follow Vedic naming, or theme-based names (fire, courage, leadership) if you go by sun sign.
- Check the meaning. Pick a name with a positive meaning in your family's language and tradition.
- Say it aloud. Make sure it is easy to pronounce and spell, and works with your surname and any middle name.
- Check the name number. Many families also check numerology. Try the Name Number Calculator for a shortlisted name.
- Confirm with an expert. An astrologer can confirm the exact nakshatra pada and suggest names. You can talk to an astrologer or a numerologist.
