About this tool
Find Jain baby names with their Prakrit and Sanskrit meanings, filtered by gender, first letter, syllables and Jain source.
This finder searches a curated list of Jain baby names where every entry is anchored to a source in the tradition rather than to a generic meaning list — the 24 Tirthankaras from Rishabhdev to Mahavir, the ten virtues of the Das Lakshana Dharma observed at Paryushan, Jain doctrinal terms such as anekant and nirjara, and named figures from the Agamas like Trishala, Gautam Swami and Chandanbala. Each name shows its Sanskrit or Prakrit origin, its meaning and the specific association it carries, and you can filter by gender, first letter, syllable count and source.

Gender, starting letter, syllable count and source, all applied together.
Useful when the family prefers a name from the older Ardhamagadhi Prakrit canon.
Most come from four places: the names and epithets of the 24 Tirthankaras, the ten virtues of the Das Lakshana Dharma such as kshama and sanyam, doctrinal terms like anekant, bhavya and nirjara, and figures from Jain history and the Agamas including Mahavir's parents Siddharth and Trishala.
The earliest Jain canon, the Agamas, was composed in Ardhamagadhi Prakrit, so forms like Arihant, Malli, Kunthu and Rajul are Prakrit. Later commentarial and devotional literature used Sanskrit, which gives the fuller forms such as Arhat, Mallinath and Rajimati. Both are equally traditional.
The Das Lakshana Dharma gives kshama (forgiveness), mardav (humility), aarjav (straightforwardness), shauch (purity), satya (truth), sanyam (restraint), tap (austerity), tyag (renunciation), akinchanya (non-attachment) and brahmacharya (celibacy). Several of these — Kshama, Mardav, Aarjav, Satya, Sanyam, Tap and Tyag — are used directly as given names.
Many Jain families do follow the same jyotish practice as their neighbours and pick a starting syllable from the birth nakshatra, but this comes from regional custom rather than from Jain doctrine itself. The starting-letter filter here lets you work with a syllable your family priest suggests; confirm the final choice with your own community.
