Konkani parents often choose baby names based on cultural, religious, and familial influences. Traditionally, names are selected from Hindu mythology, with significance tied to virtues or deities, such as names of gods, goddesses, and saints. The family’s ancestral roots and region also influence the name, with variations across different Konkani-speaking areas.
Modern names may reflect contemporary trends or aspirations for the child, often blending traditional values with modern sensibilities. Parents may also consult astrologers or follow astrological guidelines to choose names that align with their child's birth chart and ensure a harmonious future.
