About NaamKaro
A name that works everywhere — that's what we help you find.
Why NaamKaro exists
Choosing a baby name as an Indian diaspora family is a uniquely complex task. You want a name that honours your heritage — one with a beautiful meaning rooted in Sanskrit, Tamil, Punjabi, Urdu, or Bengali tradition. But you also want a name your child won't have to spell out every day in the UK, US, Canada, or Australia.
NaamKaro ("naam karo" means "give a name" in Hindi/Urdu) was built to solve exactly that. Every name in our collection has been carefully curated with diaspora families in mind — authentic, meaningful, and easy to pronounce for English speakers.
