Kundli Milan by Name
Enter both names and see which nakshatra, pada and rashi (moon sign) the first letter of each name points to, and from that how many of the 36 points the eight kootas score. This is an estimate, because the real birth nakshatra is set by the time of birth, not by the name. That is why the page shows a clear warning and keeps the exact birth-detail matching close at hand.

Rashi and nakshatra from the name
This is an estimate. The real birth nakshatra is set by the Moon's position at birth, not by the name. For a reliable match, use the page that takes birth details.

The band scale is our own editorial one: 0 to 17 not recommended, 18 to 24 acceptable, 25 to 32 good, 33 to 36 excellent. This score built from names is not a substitute for a real match.
The first syllable fits two places
The first syllable of the name appears under more than one nakshatra in the table. Choose the one you want to use; the result changes at once.

The calculation steps
Guna matching and how accurate it is
The sound of the first letter of the name is looked up in the traditional table of 108 pada syllables, using the longest match. This gives the nakshatra pada, and from the pada the Moon sign. The midpoint of that pada is then taken as the Moon's position and the same eight-koota calculation is run as on the Kundli Milan page (the Vashya and Yoni tables are from the Maniprabha commentary on Muhurta Chintamani). Some letters match two nakshatras; in that case a list appears so you can choose one. Checked on 2026-10-10.
An example
In one example the groom's name is Rohit and the bride's is Pooja. The first letter of the groom's name is Ro, which leads to nakshatra Swati, pada 3 and rashi Tula. The bride's letter Po reached nakshatra Chitra and rashi Kanya. The Nadi score was 8 and the total came to 19 Gunas.
Limitations
- Matching by name is an estimate. The birth nakshatra is set by the Moon's position at the time of birth, not by the name; for a real match, use the page that takes birth details.
- The table of pada syllables is traditional and differs slightly between regions; the version we use is stated on the page.
- Changing the spelling or pronunciation of a name can change the first letter and the whole result.
- The Nadi and Bhakoot indications are shown for information only. This information is for guidance and tradition, not a substitute for professional advice.

Frequently asked questions
How do I do Kundli Milan by name?
Enter both names. The first letter of a name sets the nakshatra pada, the pada gives the rashi, and then the eight koota scores are added up. This is an estimate; for an accurate match, use Kundli Milan with date, time and place of birth.
How do I do Kundli Milan with only a name?
Matching by name alone links the first letter of the name to its nakshatra pada. In the example, the groom's letter Ro gave the rashi Tula. Because this is an estimate, the page shows a warning alongside.
What is Kundli matching by name?
Kundli matching by name rests on the nakshatra pada and rashi of the first letter. The page works out the rashi and nakshatra from both names and gives the total of the eight kootas. The result is more reliable when you enter birth details.
How is Kundli Milan done by name?
First the first letter of each name is taken and the nakshatra pada is chosen from it. Some letters match two nakshatras, and then you pick the right one from the list. Then the eight-koota calculation is run from the Moon sign.
Exact matching with birth details
Create your Kundli from birth date, time and place: lagna, nine planets, house table, Navamsa, Moon nakshatra and Vimshottari dasha. Ayanamsa is stated.
