Birth Star
Nakshatra compatibility for Hindu families — which syllables are auspicious for a child born under your moon sign.
Launching soon on iPhone
Every baby name,
Every baby name,
scored for your family.
The first baby-name app that doesn't just list names — it measures how each one fits your family's birth star, heritage, numerology, and the sound of your last name. Because your child's name is more than a word on a list.
The problem with baby name sites
Every baby name site gives you the same alphabetical list. But your family isn't alphabetical. Your heritage, your traditions, the sound of your last name — those should matter more than whether a name starts with A or Z.— The thinking behind NameRoot
Our method
Six signals,

Six signals,
one perfect name.
Each name in NameRoot is scored across six independent dimensions. Together they form a family-fit score from 0 to 100 — not a personality quiz, a real measurement built on phonetics, numerology, etymology, and cultural tradition.
Numerology
Chaldean and Pythagorean life-path calculations showing how a name's numeric vibration aligns with your family.
Phonetics
How the first name flows with your last name. Rhythm, stress, and consonant clusters, measured with IPA.
Meaning
Etymology and cultural meaning from original-language sources — Sanskrit, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, Greek, and more.
Cultural & Tradition
How rooted the name is in your heritage AND how clearly it belongs within your tradition — Quranic resonance for Muslim, Sanskrit lineage for Hindu, biblical anchor for Christian, and so on.
Uniqueness
Popularity trends across decades. Find a name that's uncommon but not strange — the sweet spot for your child.

The wow moment
Every name,
Every name,
its own portrait.
Every name on your shortlist gets its own AI-generated portrait, painted in the style that matches your heritage. A Hindu name might be rendered in watercolor with celestial motifs. A Muslim name from Urdu tradition might feel like a royal painting with lions and crowns. A Christian name might glow with candlelight and feast-day imagery.
It's not decoration. It's the moment a name goes from "a word you're considering" to "the name of your child." It's the screenshot you send to your partner, the image you show your mother-in-law, the first glimpse of who this little person might become.
Five thousand nine hundred and forty-seven names. Every one painted for your family alone.
The difference
Built for the families
Built for the families
other apps forget.
Most baby-name apps are built for one culture, one tradition, one alphabet. NameRoot is built for modern families — intercultural, multilingual, rooted in tradition but open to the world.
Nakshatra-aware
Full panchang integration for Hindu families. Enter your baby's birth date and we compute the nakshatra, rashi, and auspicious starting syllables automatically.
Quranic references
Every Muslim name traced to its Quranic root or Prophetic tradition. See the verse, the meaning, and the cultural significance — not just a one-line definition.
Saints & feast days
For Christian families, match your child's name to a saint whose feast day aligns with their birthday. Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant naming traditions supported.
AI portraits
Every name on your shortlist gets its own AI-generated portrait that reflects your heritage. See how the name feels before you hear it called out loud.
Intercultural-first
Two parents, two heritages. NameRoot finds names that honor both — Sanskrit roots with Italian pronunciation, Arabic meanings with English spelling, Jewish names with Indian sounds.
Private by design
Your family data never leaves your device unless you explicitly share a shortlist. No profile selling, no ad targeting, no tracking pixels. Ever.
