media type="custom" key="11232144" In India names plays an important role in everyones life. When a child is born the pandits( men in India known for their wisdom) here prepare a horoscope of the child through its date, day and exact time of birth of the child. A suitable name is selected, as a special name giving ceremony is held known as namkaran in which all relatives and friends are called to meet and bless the child. Some people attach special importance to the names and select names having either religious or astrological significance. Some people associate people's name with their religion. But now a days educative class select children name according to its meaning, not through their association with religion. Indian names are most often aquire from Sanskrit, the ancient Indo-European language of India. Some Arabic and Persian names are also in use, though mainly among Indian Muslims. Hindu names tend to be from the Sanskrit language, the sacred texts of Hinduism being an important source. Most children are given three names, one of those usually taken from a name of a Hindu god or goddess. Examples of this are Krishna, Ajit, Shiva and Indra for males, and Lakshmi and Sita for females. Sanskrit vocabulary words are also used as names, such as Gita- "song" and Anand -"happiness". Though in Australia the system is quite different. Most of the children in australia have at least one of their names after someone special like a relative or a special person who is well known person in the world. For example someone named Alexander could be named after Alexander The Great.
