Grandmothers still recognise these girl names without a pause, which is half the test. Aditi means unbound, a Vedic mother of the gods. Amrita means nectar of the gods. Bhumi means the earth. Charu means beautiful, and it is short enough for daily calling. A traditional name is often a grandmother's name brought back, or a cousin of one she loved. That is a custom, not a rule you must copy. Read the meaning so you know what you are passing on. If nani smiles and the birth letter agrees, you are close. If only the spelling looks old and nobody in the house can say it, keep looking.

Aalimah means Learned. Aalokita means Illuminated. Aarti means Worship with lamps. Aatika means Generous; noble.
