मेष (Aries) – अ, ल, ई
वृषभ (Taurus) – ब, व, उ
मिथुन (Gemini) – क, छ, घ

If your Name’s first letter is in these lists, then it will be considered as your Name Rashi.
Name Zodiac (Rashi) and Birth Zodiac (Rashi) can be different. Rashi is based on a person’s name’s first letter.
Example: Rahul is my name, my name Rashi (Zodiac) will depend on “R“, THE FIRST LETTER OF MY NAME.
On the other hand, the Birth Zodiac Name is based on which zodiac the moon is present in. Often, a child’s name is finalized later; that’s why the rashi name changes.
In Astrology, to check the future and the kundali, the birth rashi is considered the most valuable. Name Rashi helps to understand the daily nature of a person.
