About the Book

The Penguin Book of Hindu Names is an exhaustive and authoritative compilation of Hindu names in current use. The book is the result of years of meticulous research and provides an in-depth exploration of approximately 20,000 Hindu names, detailing their meanings, origins, and usage.

Designed as both a practical guide and a scholarly resource, the book serves a dual purpose: it helps parents choose meaningful names for their children, while also offering scholars, pundits, and curious readers a comprehensive sourcebook on the significance of names in Hindu culture.

The names are cross-referenced for easy access, and the book provides valuable information on sources, traditional contexts, and linguistic origins. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the rich history and significance of Hindu names.
