Kundli milan by name
No birth times? Naam milan is the traditional way to match two people by name. The first syllable of each name (naam akshar) gives a nakshatra and rashi, and the 36-guna Ashtakoot score follows from there. Type both names in Hindi or English; if a spelling can be read two ways, pick the right sound.

Name milan is a traditional shortcut and gives a first look only. Matching by birth date, time and place is more accurate. Jyotish is guidance, not certainty.
How naam milan works
- Type the girl’s name and the boy’s name, in Hindi (प्रिया) or English (Priya).
- Check the first syllable shown under each name. If two readings are offered, pick the sound the name really starts with.
- Read the 36-guna score, each koot and the doshas with their cancellations. For a full match, use birth dates on the main kundli milan page.
Every nakshatra has four padas, and each pada has a traditional starting syllable (for example Chu, Che, Cho, La for Ashwini). Families have long named children by this chart, so the first syllable of a name points back to a nakshatra. Naam milan uses that nakshatra in place of the birth Moon.
Because a name may not follow the birth nakshatra, and Roman spellings hide some sounds, the score can differ from a birth-date milan. Use it as a first look, and match with birth details when you can.
Naam milan: common questions
What is naam milan?
Naam milan is gun milan done from names instead of birth details. The first syllable of each name gives a nakshatra pada from the traditional avakahada chakra, and the eight koots are scored from those nakshatras.
Is matching by name accurate?
It is a traditional shortcut. It matches the birth-date milan only when each name really starts with the syllable of that person's birth nakshatra. Matching by birth date, time and place is more accurate.
Can I type names in Hindi?
Yes. Hindi spellings like प्रिया or राहुल are read directly. English spellings are also read; when one can mean two sounds, such as T for त or ट, both options are shown so you can pick.
Why is Manglik dosha not shown?
Manglik dosha depends on where Mars was at birth, which a name cannot tell. Use the birth-date kundli milan to check Manglik.
What if the name starts with क्ष or ज्ञ?
These sounds are not in the 27-nakshatra syllable chart. You can pick the nakshatra pada by hand, as many pandits do after asking the family.
Are the names uploaded?
No. The matching runs in your browser. Names are not sent anywhere and not saved.
