The most challenging, yet exciting task for new parents is finding a unique and beautiful name rooted in their culture and tradition. So how about giving your little one a profound, classical, and sublime name from the treasure trove of Marathi language? Marathi names are taken from Hindu mythology, like Ramayana or Mahabharata or Marathi folklore. Before zeroing in on the name, elders, and astrologers are consulted. And on the day of Baarsa or the naming ceremony, the child’s aunt whispers the name in the child’s ear four times, along with a prayer. She then announces the name to everyone present in the ceremony. This is followed by blessings of the elders and ends with a feast. If you’re on the lookout for a distinctive Marathi baby name, you’ve landed at the right place. Below is MomJunction's complete database of Marathi baby names with meanings. So are you ready to select your favorite?
