Your workflow

From 4,000 names to a shortlist.

1. 01

   Narrow it down

   Filter 4,000+ names by the things you actually say out loud — how long a name is, the sound it starts and ends on, its rashi, or what it means. Every filter shows its count before you tap, so you never hit an empty list.

2. 02

   Play with names

   Blend both parents' names with Name Mixer to find real names that carry sounds from each, or swipe through Name Match one name at a time to build a shortlist fast.

3. 03

   Keep your shortlist

   Tap to save a name to the Jar, sort it newest-first or A–Z, and share the whole list with family in one message — all on your phone, online or off.

What's inside

• 01

  4,000+ Indian names, each with a real meaning

  The catalogue holds more than four thousand Indian names — Hindu, Sanskrit, classic and modern — and every one carries a real meaning in English and हिंदी, not a one-word gloss, along with its rashi, origin, and the themes it belongs to.

• 02

  Filter by how a name actually sounds

  Seven filters match how parents actually talk about names: length in aksharas, the Devanagari varga a name starts on, whether it ends open on a vowel or closed on a consonant, its rashi, meaning themes, origin, and who it's for. Every chip shows how many names it returns before you tap it, so you never land on an empty list.

• 03

  Every name in English and हिंदी

  Switch the whole app between English and हिंदी with one tap. Every name, every meaning, and every word of the interface is set in proper Devanagari typography — not a translation bolted on afterwards.

• 04

  Name Mixer blends both parents' names

  Put both parents' names in and Name Mixer finds real names from the catalogue that carry sounds from each, with the shared fragments highlighted so a genuine blend can be told from a coincidence. It never invents a spelling.

• 05

  Works fully offline — everything on your phone

  Every name lives on your device, so search works on a flight, in a hospital corridor, anywhere — with no account and no sign-up. Your language choice and the names in your Jar stay on your phone.

Why another names app?

Most baby-name apps give you an A–Z list and a boy/girl switch, then leave you scrolling thousands of names with no way in. Namelark is built around how parents actually talk about names — a short two-akshara name, one that ends softly on a vowel, one under a particular rashi, one that means “brave” — and every name carries a real meaning in English and हिंदी rather than a one-word gloss. It is the difference between a dictionary and a way to actually decide.

Frequently asked questions

What is Namelark?

Namelark is an offline baby-names app with 4,000+ Indian names — Hindu, Sanskrit, classic and modern — each with a real meaning in English and हिंदी, its rashi, and its origin. It's built to help you narrow thousands of names down to a shortlist you can actually decide on.

Can I find a baby name by rashi or nakshatra?

Yes. You can filter names by rashi, grouped under the four elements, and every name page shows the rashi it belongs to by the traditional naam-akshar system, along with the name's likely nakshatra.

Does every name come with its meaning?

Yes. Every name carries a real meaning in both English and हिंदी, plus its origin, the themes it belongs to (such as brave, calm, or wise), its numerology number, and how it breaks into aksharas.

How is Namelark different from other baby-name apps?

Instead of just A–Z and gender, Namelark filters by how a name actually sounds — its length in aksharas, the Devanagari varga it starts on, and whether it ends open on a vowel or closed on a consonant — as well as by rashi and meaning. Every filter shows how many names it will return before you tap it.

What are Name Mixer and Name Match?

Name Mixer takes both parents' names and finds real catalogue names that carry sounds from each — never invented spellings, with the shared fragments highlighted. Name Match is a quick yes-or-no swipe through names, and every name you like drops into your shortlist.

Does Namelark work offline, and do I need an account?

Namelark works fully offline — every name is on your phone, so you can search on a flight or in a hospital corridor. There is no account and no sign-up; your language choice and your shortlist stay on your device.

Is Namelark available on Android and iPhone?

Namelark is built for both Android and iPhone and is coming soon to Google Play and the App Store. It is fully bilingual too — you can switch the whole app between English and हिंदी with one tap.
