Naming a baby is one of the most sacred and joyous responsibilities for parents. In Hindu tradition, a name is not just an identity — it’s a blessing, a vibration, and a lifelong source of positive energy. And when a name comes from the Hindu Puranas, it carries centuries of divine meaning, wisdom, and spiritual strength.

The Puranas, ancient Hindu scriptures that tell stories of gods, heroes, and creation, are a treasure trove of powerful, meaningful names. From the valor of Lord Vishnu’s avatars to the wisdom of great sages, every name from the Puranas carries a divine essence that connects your child to India’s rich spiritual heritage.

If you’re searching for a name that blends tradition, strength, and divinity, this list of Hindu Purana baby boy names is the perfect starting point.
