Naming a child is one of the most baffling decision parents have to make, especially when you are from Gujarat. Suggestions pour in from friends, relatives, neighbors even before the birth of the baby, making the decision more difficult. Some parents also consult the priests and astrologists to guide them in the right direction for choosing a name. The priest or astrologist narrows down the process by giving them the first alphabet. The parents then have to select one name from the same initial. But what if we tell you, you can decide the name yourself using our baby name search tool? From the land of incomparable beauty, rich literature and heritage, MomJunction's got you a comprehensive list of top Gujarati baby names. We have a mix of traditional and modern, long and short Gujarati baby names to cater to everyone’s taste. Just keep scrolling!
