How do Gujarati baby girl names differ from other cultural names in India?

Gujarati baby girl names have distinct characteristics that set them apart. The names are often derived from Sanskrit and reflect ancient Hindu traditions. Both men and women adopt their father’s given name as their middle name, and names typically follow the pattern of given name, fathers given name, and surname. Upon marriage, women adopt their husband’s given name as the middle name, followed by the family name. Additionally, suffixes like -bai or -ben for women may be added to their personal names–Nitaben for Nita, for example (1).

Can Gujarati girl names be incorporated into any culture/religion?

Gujarati girl names can be incorporated into various cultures and religions due to their profound meanings, sweet melody, and adaptability. Many Gujarati names have Sanskrit roots and carry universal qualities that echo across different cultures and religions. For instance, names like Kavia (poetry), Upasana (worship), and Vaishnavi (Goddess Parvati) carry positive meanings that are appreciated beyond Gujarati culture.
