H Naam Ki Rashi

Vedic astrology
Names beginning with H fall under Karka (कर्क) or Mithuna (मिथुन)Details

Which one depends on the syllable, not the letter:

  • Karka कर्क · CancerHee ही · Hu हु · He हे · Ho हो
  • Mithuna मिथुन · GeminiHaa हा

This is the naam rashi, taken from the first syllable of the name. It matches the janma rashi — the one read from the Moon's position at birth — only when the name was chosen from the birth star in the first place.
